This scan can be used to find out if you have a rare disease called cardiac amyloidosis. Pat fad biopsy is quite accurate per my hematologist and the 2020 article showing test specificity of 99% and a sensitivity of 91%
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7545559/
I guess there is no 100% accurate single test
