Incidental cardiac uptake in bone scintigraphy: increased importance and association with cardiac amyloidosis

Extraosseous radiotracer uptake during bone scintigraphy must be carefully assessed and it offers the potential to detect previously undiagnosed disease processes. A range of neoplastic, metabolic, traumatic, ischaemic and inflammatory disorders can cause soft tissue accumulation of bone avid radiop...

description Extraosseous radiotracer uptake during bone scintigraphy must be carefully assessed and it offers the potential to detect previously undiagnosed disease processes. A range of neoplastic, metabolic, traumatic, ischaemic and inflammatory disorders can cause soft tissue accumulation of bone avid radiopharmaceuticals. Accordingly, cardiac uptake in bone scintigraphy has a broad differential diagnosis and is commonly attributed to ischaemia/infarction related to coronary artery disease. However, there has been renewed focus on incidental cardiac uptake in recent years in light of significant developments in the diagnosis and management of cardiac amyloidosis.
