Video: Roberto Soto, MD, of Precision Imaging, shows a recent PET imaging case using Amyvid, recently approved for evaluation of Alzheimer's.
Roberto Soto, MD, founder and medical officer of Precision Imaging, shows a recent PET imaging case using Amyvid. The radioactive diagnostic agent Amyvid, or florbetapir, was FDA-approved in April for use in the evaluation of Alzheimer’s disease.
