Divided into two parts, this book discusses various aspects of bone SPECT/CT of ankle and foot.
The first part is dedicated to foot and ankle pathology and concisely presents those disorders most frequently detected with a bone scan. The authors also describe common pathologies that cannot be diagnosed with bone scans, such as Morton s neuroma, but which nuclear physicians need to recognize. Orthopedic surgeons expectancies are highlighted and several bone scan studies of clinical interest are presented.
The second part is devoted to anatomy: bones, articulations and all relevant anatomical structures that are necessary to interpret a bone scan of the ankle and foot are described by means of anatomical illustrations with captions.
