Amyloid-PET in sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy: A diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis

Conclusions:
Amyloid-PET appears to have moderate to good diagnostic accuracy in differentiating patients with probable CAA from cognitively normal healthy controls or patients with deep ICH. Given that amyloid-PET labels both cerebrovascular and parenchymal amyloid, a negative scan might be useful to rule out CAA in the appropriate clinical setting.
