Navigate the diagnostic complexities of cardiac amyloidosis through expert multimodality imaging techniques with Dr Vasvi Singh.

This comprehensive presentation, part of the Cardiomyopathies track, addresses the critical role of advanced imaging in diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis. Dr Singh explores the nuanced differences between SPECT and SPECT-CT imaging capabilities, providing practical insights into when each modality delivers optimal diagnostic accuracy.

Through real-world case studies, including challenging scenarios with residual blood pool activity, the presentation demonstrates how to avoid common imaging pitfalls that can lead to misdiagnosis. Dr Singh emphasizes the importance of proper reconstruction techniques and scanner selection, highlighting how SPECT-CT reduces ambiguity and improves diagnostic confidence compared to SPECT-only systems.

The discussion includes practical guidance for establishing cardiac amyloidosis imaging programs and selecting appropriate scanner technology. Key learning points focus on distinguishing true myocardial uptake from blood pool activity, understanding the limitations of traditional metrics like the H/CL ratio, and implementing systematic approaches to image interpretation.
