Utility of SPECT/CT in Non-Traumatic Osteonecrosis: Revisited with New Insights from a Prospective Diagnostic Study
The study has demonstrated that CBS, which includes whole-body imaging and SPECT/CT, is highly sensitive in detecting osteonecrosis with accuracy comparable to regional MRI. Its inherent whole-body imaging technique enabled the detection of multifocal osteonecrosis. It can be used as an early investigating modality after routine plain radiography to establish the diagnosis.
