Inclusion body myositis (IBM) and polymyositis can normally be distinguished on the basis of clinical features. However, patients with an atypical disease presentation, particularly those with early-stage disease, can be challenging to diagnose. Can imaging with amyloid-PET help distinguish these two diseases?
