"Patients undergoing bone scintigraphy (a nuclear medicine bone scan) may present with high levels of cardiac radiotracer (known as DPD) uptake as an incidental finding, which point to the presence of cardiac amyloidosis," noted Christian Nitsche, MD, PhD, cardiologist in training and intermediate...
We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of (99m)Tc-3,3-diphosphono-1,2 propanodicarboxylic acid ((99m)Tc-DPD) scintigraphy in differentiating between monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain and transthyretin-related cardiac amyloidosis.Nin... F Minutoli,M Russo,GD Bella,... - 《European Radiology》...
inflammatory arthritis and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cardiac diseases. A recent study demonstrated that TNFR2 is also expressed in chondrocytes and that the activation of progranulin (PGRN)/TNFR2/14-3-3ε signaling in chondrocytes alleviates OA-associated pain and protects against OA.140...
Bone scintigraphy and multimodality imaging in bone neoplasia: Strategies for imaging in the new health care climate The integration of multiple imaging modalities in the assessment of musculoskeletal neoplasia is complex. Although no two instances are identical, certain ... Stephen J. Pomeranz and Har...

The bone scan was negative for bone metastasis, but there was mild tracer accumulation in the heart, suggestive of CA. Subsequently, CA was diagnosed on Tc-PYP imaging. MDP may play a role comparable to other bone-seeking tracers in the diagnosis of CA and may be used as a noninvasive ...
