Abstract:
A 52-year-old woman was referred for chronic left lateral foot pain, with suspicion of a stress fracture. 99mTc-HDP bone scintigraphy using a new 3D-ring CZT system (StarGuide) was performed. Bloodpool and late-phase SPECT/CT demonstrated increased uptake in foci corresponding to the os peroneum, suggestive of painful os peroneum syndrome (POPS). Our case highlights the potential of this new generation of 3D-ring CZT SPECT/CT systems to identify POPS, as early diagnosis remains crucial for adequate management.

The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...
