A 63-y-old woman with a history of breast cancer presented with concerns of osseous metastasis. Initial whole-body planar bone scintigraphy revealed a focus of concern overlying the sternum. SPECT/CT images revealed the anomaly—localized activity in the needleless hub attached to the chemotherapy port. If not for the precision of SPECT/CT, such a rare artifact could have led to a false-positive diagnosis, particularly impactful in breast cancer patients. This case emphasizes the critical role of SPECT/CT in accurate diagnoses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
