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.

Participants underwent both F-18 PSMA-1007 PET/CT and multiparametric MRI within 14 days of one another and at least five days before surgery at two hospitals in Alberta, Canada. Radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians analyzed the images, with their reads ultimately compared to laboratory results from biopsies.
