Usefulness of combined FDG-PET/MR to diagnose active cardiac sarcoidosis.

Conclusions These preliminary results of our prospective study show the usefulness of combined FDG-PET/MR in the diagnosis of CS using TNRmax measurements. Further inclusions of patients are needed to validate an optimal threshold of TNRmax and verify the clinical utility of combined FDG-PET/MR. This series also confirms the ability of PET/MR imaging to evaluate extra-cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis and in assessing alternative myocardial pathologies.
