NCT03561025

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to find better and more specific non-invasive methods to diagnose and stage cardiac sarcoidosis with the use of advanced imaging modalities, simultaneous 3T MRI and PET. Cardiac sarcoidosis is a disease of possibly fatal outcome in young people. The use of a combined PET/MRI system with 18F-FDG and a new inflammation-tracer (18F-GE180) can become a future game changer. Sarcoid induced focal inflammation in myocardium should show high 18F-GE180 uptake. 18F-GE180 PET scans will give reliable data about inflammatory sarcoidosis activity in the myocardium. 18F-GE180 PET is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy compared to 18F-FDG-PET and/or contrast enhanced MRI.
