In small studies, F-18 PSMA-1007 PET/CT has shown promise as a more accurate approach based on its ability to reveal prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on the surface of cancer cells. In this phase II clinical trial, the researchers sought to evaluate the approach further.

F-18 FDG-PET is an established approach for diagnosing inflammation based on its ability to visualize increased cellular glucose metabolism, and the researchers hypothesized that it could be useful in patients with neurosarcoidosis. In all three cases, gadolinium-enhanced MRI scans did not show abnormalities.

Reimbursement barriers Unfortunately, until recently, there were significant barriers to receiving amyloid PET imaging in some regions. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for example, did not cover amyloid PET scans outside of clinical trials for Medicare beneficiaries and only covered one scan per patient’s lifetime.
