title: Transient myocardial uptake of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate in a patient with amyloidosis.
abstract: A patient with autopsy-proven myocardial amyloidosis had been observed for 10 years with Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate bone scans. The bone scans manifested transient myocardial uptake. No cause other than the myocardial amyloid could be found to explain the fluctuating scan findings.
