Diagnostic study demonstrates high accuracy and prognostic utility of hybrid FDG-PET/MRI in cardiac sarcoidosis, highlighting its role in risk stratification.
Simultaneous PET/MR is an accurate method for diagnosing CS. FDG-PET and CMR combined offers complementary information on disease pathophysiology. The presence of LGE and FDG uptake on PET/MR identifies patients at higher risk of adverse events. PET and CMR should therefore be considered in the assessment of disease presence, stage, and prognosis in CS.
