Abstract
Planar whole-body bone scan was performed in the anterior and posterior projections 3 hrs after injection of 740 MBq (20mCi) of 99mTcHMDP (99m Technetium hydroxymethylene diphosphonate). The scanning speed was at 10-15 cm/min and the image format was 1024 × 256. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) was additionally performed. The bone scintigraphy showed an intense cardiac uptake corresponding to a grade 3 (intense cardiac uptake with attenuated bone uptake) and
