Radionuclide bone SPECT/CT is reported to be useful in evaluating benign orthopedic conditions, and it often provides valuable information such as accurate localization and characterization of bone abnormalities. It is always challenging to localize the pain generators in patients with recurrent pain after orthopedic surgery. Bone SPECT/CT offers a new approach in combining functional and structural information in patients presenting with pain after orthopedics procedures. In this volume, “Post-Operative SPECT/CT in Orthopedics: Pearls, Patterns& Pitfalls ” we will cover some important and interesting topics in evaluating patients with recurrent pain after orthopedic surgery.
