18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET computed tomography in cardiac sarcoidosis: lessons from a 10-year review
We obtained excellent diagnostic quality of images in a high proportion of our patients (92%). Because of a high degree of concordance between 18 F-FDG PET-CT and CMR, we propose that either test can be used initially and the other test can be used in cases of clinical discordance. Interval 18 F-FDG PET-CT scans are immensely useful for treatment response monitoring.
