Diagnostic Utility of F-18 Florbetapir PET/MR in Peripheral Nerve Amyloidosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary aim of this study will be to examine the diagnostic utility of 18-F Florbetapir PET/MR (Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance) in imaging patients with pathologically-confirmed systemic amyloidosis involving the peripheral nerves and compare these results to non-amyloid diseased controls.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Patients with pathologically proven amyloidosis involving the peripheral nervous system will undergo 18-F Florbetapir PET/MR on a GE (General Electric Healthcare) SIGNA PET/MR scanner. A control arm comprised of patients with pathologically-confirmed non-amyloid causes of peripheral neuropathy will also undergo 18-F Florbetapir PET/MR scanning. all images will be reviewed for peripheral nerve uptake.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Locations of peripheral nerve 18-F Florbetapir uptake [50-120 minutes post injection]
Standardized uptake value (SUV)
- Pattern of F-18 Florbetapir uptake (Heterogeneous vs. Homogeneous, focal vs. diffuse) [50-120 minutes post injection]
Heterogeneous vs. Homogeneous, focal vs. diffuse. This is a categorical variable. There is not a quantitative or semi-quantitative scale that is appropriate.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- T1 and T2 characteristics (Hypointense, isointense or hyperintense relative to skeletal muscle) [50-120 minutes post injection]
Hypointense, isointense or hyperintense relative to skeletal muscle. This is a categorical variable. There is not a quantitative or semi-quantitative scale that is appropriate.
- Morphologic changes [50-120 minutes post injection]
Presence or absence of neural enlargement
- Pattern of contrast enhancement (Solid, heterogeneous or peripheral enhancement) [50-120 minutes post injection]
Solid, heterogeneous or peripheral enhancement. This is a categorical variable. There is not a quantitative or semi-quantitative scale that is appropriate.
- Additional sites of 18-F Florbetapir uptake [50-120 minutes post injection]
i.e. cardiac myocardium, skeletal muscle, bone marrow
