Technetium pyrophosphate nuclear scintigraphy for cardiac amyloidosis: Imaging at 1 vs 3 hours and planar vs SPECT/CT

ConclusionThese data support the recommendation that SPECT/CT should be obtained in addition to planar images when performing nuclear scintigraphy for the detection of cardiac amyloidosis. A 1-hour planar and SPECT/CT protocol appears optimal.
