Abstract

Heterotopic ossification is the deposition of calcified tissue at extra skeletal sites and can be broadly categorized into genetic and non-genetic based on the pathogenesis, with non-genetic being the most common. In this chapter, we discuss the role of anatomical and Bone scintigraphy with SPECT/CT in management of Heterotopic ossification.
