A case of disappearing amyloid on technetium pyrophosphate scan
We present a patient with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis who had a strongly positive initial Tc-PYP scan, with a dramatic decrease in Tc-PYP uptake on repeat scan after 3 years of tafamidis treatment. However, myocardial biopsy showed persistent diffuse amyloid deposits. This case highlights the need for further studies regarding the utility of serial Tc-PYP scans in monitoring the progress of ATTR cardiomyopathy. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

Potential utility of SPECT/CT with 99mTc-Tektrotyd for imaging of post-myocardial infarction inflammation
ConclusionThe intensity (SUVmax) of99mTc-Tektrotyd uptake in the area of recent MI directly depends on the size of ischemic myocardial injury and correlates with changes of heart contractility indexes over the 6 month follow-up. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)
