Table 2 Perugini scoring system for cardiac amyloid imaging interpretation
| Perugini score | Cardiac uptake | Bone uptake | Interpretation |
| 0 | Absent | Normal | No evidence of cardiac amyloid deposition |
| 1 | Mild, less than bone uptake | Normal | Low-grade uptake, non-specific |
| 2 | Moderate | Reduced | Suggestive of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis |
| 3 | Strong | Mild or absent | Highly suggestive of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis |
