Abstract
SPECT/CT has revolutionized bone scintigraphy imaging, especially for hip and pelvis pathologies. SPECT/CT has improved tracer uptake localization and identification of various pathologies, and although many clinicians expect this service, it is not always available or performed satisfactorily. Nuclear medicine specialists need more knowledge of the pathology of the hip and pelvis that can be diagnosed with SPECT/CT to provide a clinically useful report. This chapter helps specialists provide high-quality reports. In this chapter, we will review the use of SPECT/CT in imaging the sacroiliac joints, hip joints, fractures of the hips and pelvis, and postoperative complications.
