Single photon emission CT (SPECT)/CT arthrography, the combination of CT arthrography and late phase bone SPECT/CT, has been developed in 2011 and so far used in knee, ankle and wrist joints. SPECT/CT offers functional information about increased bone turnover in combination with morphological details. Compared with SPECT/CT alone, additional intra-articular contrast enables the assessment of cartilage, menisci, ligaments and loose bodies. SPECT/CT arthrography is a promising alternative technique for the evaluation of internal derangement of joints in patients with MR contraindications and/or metallic implants. In this article, we review and report our 5-year experience with this technique illustrated with patient examples and give a perspective for future applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
