Résumé
When interpreting amyloid scintigraphy the nuclear cardiology physician should be aware of incidental image findings that may interfere with scan interpretation and may be of potential clinical significance. As for other nuclear cardiac imaging it is important to inspect the entire field of view of the planar and SPECT images. Correlation with the patient's history and physical examination is crucial in interpretation of these incidental findings.
