AIMS: We aim to determine if our previously validated, diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI) electrocardiogram (ECG) model is prognostic for survival among patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA).

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR CA) is increasingly recognized as a cause of heart failure in older patients, with Tc-pyrophosphate imaging frequently used to establish the diagnosis. Visual interpretation of SPECT images is the gold standard...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac uptake on technetium-99m whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) is almost pathognomonic of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. The rare false positives are often related to light-chain cardiac amyloidosis. However, this scintigraphic featur...
Amyloidogenesis is a critical hallmark for many neurodegenerative diseases and drug screening; however, identifying intermediate states of protein aggregates at an earlier stage remains challenging. Herein, we developed a peptide-encapsulated droplet...
In Alzheimer's disease, the molecular pathogenesis of the extracellular Aβ-amyloid (Aβ) instigation of intracellular tau accumulation is poorly understood. We employed a high-resolution PET scanner, with low detection thresholds, to examine the Aβ-ta...
OBJECTIVE: While the use of biomarkers for the detection of early and preclinical Alzheimer's Disease has become essential, the need to wait for over an hour after injection to obtain sufficient image quality can be challenging for patients with susp...
Patients with rare conditions such as cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are difficult to identify, given the similarity of disease manifestations to more prevalent disorders. The deployment of approved therapies for CA has been limited by delayed diagnosis of...
Our purpose in this study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility of deep-learning techniques for F-18 florbetaben (FBB) positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction using data acquired in a short time. We reconstructed raw FBB PET data of...

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the potential of deep learning tools for characterizing the presence of cardiac amyloidosis from early acquired PET images, i.e. 15 min after [18F]-Florbetaben tracer injection. 47 subjects were inclu...
