Molecular Imaging ([18F]NOS or Florbetaben PET/CT Scan) for the Diagnosing of Amyloidosis

Trial Status: administratively complete

This trial studies how well molecular imaging using [18F]NOS or florbetaben PET/CT scan work in diagnosing a type of heart disorder called amyloidosis. [18F]NOS is an experimental radioactive drug used in PET/CT imaging to measure inflammation in various organs in the body. Florbetaben is a radioactive drug used for PET/CT imaging of amyloid plaques in the body. This trial is being done to determine if there is a difference between the two different types of PET/CT scans in the way they measure response to treatment.
