Wrist MRI may spot hidden amyloid deposits without needles

NCT ID NCT05150353

Summary

This study tested whether a special MRI scan of the wrist can detect amyloid deposits in people with systemic amyloidosis, a rare disease where abnormal proteins build up in organs. Researchers compared wrist MRIs from 128 participants (patients with amyloidosis and healthy volunteers) to see if the scans could spot deposits non-invasively. The goal was to find a safer, simpler way to diagnose the condition without tissue biopsies.
