Emerging topics and practical aspects for an appropriate use of amyloid PET in the current italian context
In May, 2017 some representatives of the Italian nuclear medicine and
neurological communities spontaneously met to discuss the issues emerged
during the first two years of routine application of amyloid PET with
fluorinated radiopharmaceuticals in the real world. The limitations of a
binary classification of scans, the possibility to obtain early images
as a surrogate marker of regional cerebral bloos flow, the need for
(semi-)quantification and, thus, the opportunity of ranking brain
amyloidosis, the correlation with Aβ42 levels in the cerebrospinal
fluid, the occurrence and biological meaning of uncertain/boderline
scans, the issue of incidental amyloidosis, the technical pittfalls
leading to false negative/positive results, the position of the tool in
the diagnostic flow- chart in the national reality, are the main topics
that have been discussed. Also, a card to justify the examination to be
filled by the dementia specialist and a card for the nuclear medicine
physician to report the exam in detail have been approved and are
available in the web, which should facilitate the creation of a national
register, as previewed by the 2015 intersocietal recommendation on the
use of amyloid PET in Italy. The content of this discussion could
stimulate both public institutions and companies to support further
research on these topics.
