Summary
This study tested whether a special PET/MR scan using a tracer called F-18 florbetapir can help doctors see amyloid buildup in the nerves of people with amyloidosis. Eight adults with confirmed nerve amyloidosis or other nerve diseases took part. The goal was to see if the scan can tell the difference between amyloid and non-amyloid nerve problems.
