Evaluation of the sensitivity of 18F-NaF PET for the imaging of cardiac amyloidosis

Conclusions: While the results of this pilot study suggest that 18F-NaF PET/CT demonstrates good diagnostic accuracy for ATTR, particularly when using quantitative analysis, its sensitivity is less than the reported sensitivity of established nuclear medicine studies with PYP or DPD. Further studies with direct comparisons to PYP or DPD SPECT are recommended.
