Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress has been made on setting up a study to image amyloid deposition in systemic amyloidosis using hybrid positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging; where the study is located; how many patients have been recruited; when the study is expected to complete its initial work; and where the results will be published.

This is a single centre study at University College London Hospital. It has now been set up and one patient has been recruited and scanned. The current planned date for end of recruitment is 1 October 2016. It is anticipated that the data will be analysed and submitted for publication in a peer reviewed journal within a year of the end of recruitment.
