Myocardial uptake of Tc-99m HDP in a patient with prostate carcinoma
Nucl. Med. Rev 2009;12(2):78-80.
Abstract
In this case report we present an unusual appearance of myocardial
uptake of Tc-99m HDP in a 59-year-old renal transplant
patient who was imaged while looking for metastases from adenocarcinoma
of the prostate. Subsequent investigation demonstrated
no obvious cause for this appearance, such as myocardial
disease or metastatic cancer. The case report, therefore,
discusses the possible causes of such an appearance and reviews
the literature concerning this phenomenon.
