Head-to-head comparison of [18F]florbetapir and [18F]FDG PET for the early detection of amyloidosis in systemic amyloidosis and plasma cell dyscrasias

Systemic amyloidosis is underdiagnosed in light-chain amyloidosis (AL), as is plasma cell dyscrasias (PCD). Early detection and accurate evaluation of organ involvement in systemic amyloidosis remain critical challenges. We aimed to assess the utility of [18F]florbetapir (FBP) and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for the early detection and evaluation of organ involvement in systemic amyloidosis.
