Summary
- This summary is based on the review of one systematic review(s)/meta-analysis(es). [1]
- Florbetaben F18 ([^18F]FBB) showed inconsistent effectiveness in diagnosing transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), with study findings indicating contradictory diagnostic results.
- Among other tracers, Carbon-11 Pittsburgh compound B ([(11)C]PIB) and Fluorine-18 Sodium Fluoride (Na[(18)F]F) demonstrated consistent diagnostic utility, with [(11)C]PIB effectively distinguishing ATTR (Transthyretin) amyloidosis patients from controls and Na[(18)F]F reliably differentiating between ATTR-CM and cardiac light chain amyloidosis.
- There is no safety information available in the reviewed studies.
- There is no population types or subgroups information available in the reviewed studies.
