Abstract
- The increasing implementation of advanced cardiovascular imaging in the form of cardiac PET/CT has had a significant impact on the management of cardiac sarcoidosis, which continues to evolve. This review summarizes the role of PET/CT imaging in sarcoidosis with a specific focus on (1) indications, (2) patient preparation, (3) test performance, (4) study interpretation, (5) clinical relevance of findings, (6) comparison to alternative imaging modalities, and finally (7) introduction of areas of anticipated development and research.
