Incidental Cardiac Uptake on ^99mTc-HMDP Bone Scintigraphy in Oncology Patients: Two Cases of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy with Literature Review [PDF]

Diseases
Background: Bone scintigraphy using technetium-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (99mTc-HMDP) is extensively employed to detect bone metastases. However, incidental myocardial uptake may indicate wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM)

Predicting iliac bone marrow harvest success in osteonecrosis of femoral head using preoperative bone scintigraphy uptake: a cross sectional study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Bone marrow transplantation has been employed as a regenerative treatment for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, in clinical practice, obtaining a sufficient volume of bone marrow aspirate under general anesthesia can sometimes

Rational and reliable diagnosis of periprosthetic hip and knee joint infection using two nuclear-medicine methods: 99mTc-ciprofloxacin and 99mTc-MDP scintigraphy [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2021
Background/Aim. There is a constant and dramatic in-crease in hip and knee prosthetic implantations worldwide. However, a decrease in the percentage of failed (infected) prosthetic implantations is not significant (0.5% up to 2%).

Suprapatellar bursitis presenting as unilateral “Hot” patella sign on 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate skeletal scintigraphy

World Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2021
“Hot” patella sign is a less commonly seen finding in bone scintigraphy defined as increased tracer activity in the patella greater than the ipsilateral distal femur and ipsilateral proximal tibia.
