Abstract: Tc-diphosphanate uptake has been previously reported in elderly prostate cancer patients, possibly attributable to asymptomatic atherosclerosis, this explanation is unlikely considering that the uptake almost resolved within a relatively short period of time. It is clinically important to rule out amyloidosis in patients with increased cardiac uptake on bone scans. However, we believe that clinicians should also consider the possibility of non-specific uptake as a cause for cardiac uptake on bone scan, which would only require follow-up rather than medical intervention.
