Perugini grading scale
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The Perugini grading scale is a semi-quantitative method of scoring cardiac uptake following injection of 99mTc-DPD, 99mTc-PYP-Pyrophosphate or 99mTc-HMDP scintigraphy in the investigation of cardiac amyloidosis.
Classification
- grade 0: no cardiac uptake and normal bone uptake
- grade 1: cardiac uptake which is less than bone uptake
- grade 2: cardiac uptake with intensity similar to or greater than bone uptake
- grade 3: cardiac uptake with much reduced or absent bone signal
