Sagittal, coronal, and axial fused Tc-99m PYP-SPECT/CT images of a 93-year-old male at baseline and after two years of tafamidis 61 mg daily by mouth therapy. Tc-99m PYP images are shown in color and CT images are shown in grey scale. These images show a reduction in visual grade from an initial grade of 3 (myocardial uptake > rib uptake) to a follow-up grade of 1 (myocardial uptake < rib uptake). Quantitative metrics decreased significantly as well.
