Whole-Body SPECT/CT versus Planar Bone Scan with Targeted SPECT/CT for Metastatic Workup

Figure 2

Whole-body SPECT/CT of the same patient as in Figure 1. Not only did the MIP-SPECT (a) show the 2 rib fractures seen in Figure 1, but also it showed an area of focal uptake in the superior pubic ramus. SPECT/CT fusion (b) shows focal uptake within the medullary bone without any correlative abnormality on the CT (c), and the patient was classified as “metastatic.”
