High Resolution SPECT CT images acquired on our BrightView XCT Nuclear Imaging System

HISTORY:  LT foot pain.  No trauma.  ? Stress #.

TECHNIQUE:  Regional scintigraphy with SPECT/CT was performed following intravenous injection of tracer. 

FINDINGS:  There is normal vascularity in the in the flow phase of the study. In the delayed static images there is focal increased tracer uptake in the base of the left 4th metatarsal bone. SPECT/CT demonstrates focal  increased tracer uptake in the base of the left 4th metatarsal bone.with discrete fracture line on low dose CT. 

COMMENT: The study demonstrates recent stress fracture in the base of the left 4th metatarsal bone.
