Abstract: BackgroundTechnetium-based bone scintigraphy is rapidly becoming the most common non-invasive imaging tool in the diagnosis of Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR). Skeletal muscle uptake has been described with technetium-99m-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (TcDPD), and may account for masking… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundCardiac uptake on oncologic FDG PET/CT can be unpredictable. Focal or mass-like cardiac uptake not confined to normal pattern is a real challenge for interpretation due to great variability in physiologic uptake and rarity of… read more here.

Abstract: Bone scintigraphy (BS) is highly diagnostic for amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiomyopathy. Prevalence and prognostic value of BS cardiac uptake is not well established. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of subclinical cardiac ATTR amyloidosis… read more here.
