Validation of [99mTc]Tc-HMDP SPECT/CT myocardium-to-blood ratio for the detection of ATTR cardiomyopathy
LV myocardium-to-blood ratio (MBR) greater than 1.5 was 100% accurate for detecting ATTR cardiomyopathy using [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]Tc-HMDP SPECT/CT. Left ventricular MBR was associated with wall thickness on echocardiography but not with the clinical severity of ATTR cardiomyopathy.
