DOI: 10.1007/s12350-021-02585-y
Abstract: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by the deposition of insoluble misfolded proteins in the myocardium. CA is classified based on the type of protein accumulating in the myocardium with two main recognized subtypes: transthyretin (ATTR)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2019.03.009
Abstract: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification (HO) in muscles, ligaments and tendons. Flare-ups often precede the formation of HO, resulting in immobilization of joints. Due to progression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6560/aaebba
Abstract: Identification of individual lesions on 18F-NaF PET bone scans is a time-consuming and often subjective process that makes accurate characterization of disease burden challenging. Current automated methods either underestimate disease or struggle with high false… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/ehaa946.0300
Abstract: The rate of increase of coronary arterial calcification score (CCS) on serial CT-scans years apart is a potent marker of cardiovascular risk but identifies risk only after irreversible damage has occurred. Molecular imaging may assist… read more here.
