Abstract: Background and AimEither 99mTechnetium diphosphonate (Tc-DPD) or pyrophosphate (Tc-PYP) scintigraphy plays a relevant role in diagnosing transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (CA), and labeled radiotracers have been extensively studied in diagnosing CA. Few studies have analyzed and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12350-019-01719-7
Abstract: The recently published work of Cappelli et al raises the practical question: What should we use for imaging of suspected transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR)? It concluded that Tc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (HDP) was sufficiently accurate for diagnosis… read more here.
