title: Scintigraphic findings in primary amyloidosis. An analysis of 7 cases.
abstract: Images of 7 patients with primary amyloidosis revealed organomegaly with regions of decreased tracer accumulation due to infiltration and replacement of normal tissue by the amyloid complex. These scintigraphic changes in the clinical setting of multisystem disease should suggest amyloidosis as a possible diagnosis.
