Absolute quantification of myocardial uptake of Tc-DPD in patients with cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin deposits (ATTR).

Purpose: To determine the diagnostic contribution of the absolute quantification of the myocardial deposit of Tc-DPD in patients with cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin deposits (ATTR).

Materials And Methods: SPECT/CT was performed in 41 patients with positive scintigraphic results for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis. The patients were divided into two groups (Perugini grades 2 and 3) and the SUVmax at the level of the bone and both ventricles and the percentage of dose calculated in these areas were calculated.
