    Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) effectively visualizes facial bone anatomy and aids in diagnosing conditions like tumors and infections. This advanced imaging provides valuable diagnostic information beyond routine bone scintigraphy.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Anatomical Imaging

    Background:

    • Bone scintigraphy is a standard diagnostic tool.
    • Facial bone imaging presents unique anatomical challenges.
    • Evaluating diseases of the facial bones requires detailed anatomical visualization.

    Observation:

    • Single-photon emission tomographic (SPECT) system was utilized.
    • SPECT imaging followed routine bone scintigraphy.
    • Examination duration added 20-30 minutes to the procedure.

    Findings:

    • SPECT clearly defined normal facial bone anatomy.
    • Deep and superficial facial bone structures were well separated.
    • SPECT provided added diagnostic information for tumors, infections, bone grafts, and osteonecrosis.
