ABSTRACT:
A 15-year-old
patient with osteosarcoma of left distal femur underwent a bone scan with
Tc-99m hydroxymethylenediphosphonate (HDP). Whole body bone scan revealed
extensive bone and thoracic metastases. Single Photon Emission Computed
Tomography-Computed Tomography (SPECT-CT) of the thorax localized the uptake at
pleura and lung nodules. In this case study we want to share our experience
using SPECT-CT.
