Aortic aneurysm detected by 99mTc-pyrophosphate imaging: case report.
    Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 1977, Volume: 18, Issue:3

    An example of aneurysmal concentration of 99mTc-pyrophosphate (Tc-PPi) is described. An abdominal aortic aneurysm was suspected when a rectilinear bone scan showed an abnormal paraspinal area of activity. The aneurysm was confirmed by ultrasonic examination. Conventional radiographic examination failed to reveal calcification within the aneurysm. Aneurysmal concentration of Tc-PPi should be considered in patients showing abnormal radioactivity in the region of vascular structures on radionuclide bone images.
