title: A finding of myocardial uptake at a bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m HDP.
abstract: We present a patient admitted to our Department for a Tc-99m HDP three-phase bone scintigraphy to evaluate a hip prosthesis. Delayed images showed diffuse myocardial uptake at whole body scan. In such cases, several diseases should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
