Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Nuclear medicine techniques, especially bone scintigraphy, are valuable for investigating rheumatological conditions.
  • The application of bone scintigraphy in rheumatology is expanding.
  • Various bone and joint pathologies can be effectively imaged.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of nuclear medicine bone scintigraphy in diagnosing a wide range of rheumatological conditions.
  • To discuss the expanding role and new indications of bone scintigraphy, including SPECT.

Main Methods:

  • Bone scintigraphy.
  • Single-photon emission tomography (SPECT).

Main Results:

  • Bone scintigraphy is useful for imaging sports medicine injuries, osteomyelitis, avascular necrosis, reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, enthesopathies, bio-mechanical stress lesions, inflammatory arthropathies, and metabolic bone disease.

  • SPECT has enabled new indications, including the evaluation of spondylolysis, facet syndrome, meniscal tears, and ligamental lesions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nuclear medicine bone scintigraphy is a versatile diagnostic tool for numerous rheumatological and bone conditions.
    • SPECT enhances the diagnostic capabilities of bone scintigraphy, particularly for spinal and joint abnormalities.
