“…after arthrodesis. Specific applications like ulnocarpal impaction (Figure 1), 12 carpal boss 19 and bone tumours like osteoid osteoma 20,21 have been described in the literature. In general, increased uptake in SPECT/CT corresponds quite well with bone marrow oedema in MR as could be shown in a comparative study in 28 wrists with a concordance rate of 75%.…”

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.
