Utility of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in therapeutic monitoring of cardiac sarcoidosis

J Nucl Cardiol. 2023 Oct;30(5):2213-2214. doi: 10.1007/s12350-022-03087-1. Epub 2022 Aug 31.

Abstract

Cardiac sarcoidosis usually occurs as a manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis, even though isolated cardiac involvement is not uncommon. The usefulness of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in the diagnosis of CS has been previously documented in the literature. We present a case of cardiac sarcoidosis, where 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT was used for monitoring response to therapy.

Keywords: PET; Sarcoid heart disease; diagnostic and prognostic application; molecular imaging agents.
