Incidentally detected cardiac amyloidosis on 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an important cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). At present, 3 bone-seeking tracers, 99mTc-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (99mTc-DPD), 99mTc-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP), and 99mTc-hydroxymethylene diphosp...
