Summary
This study is testing a new radioactive tracer called [18F]FT8 for PET/CT scans to see if it can safely and accurately detect amyloid deposits in people with amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs like the heart. Researchers will compare the new scan to standard tests like echocardiograms and MRIs. The study involves 20 patients with amyloidosis and 5 healthy volunteers to evaluate safety and imaging quality.
