Iliotibial Band Syndrome Detected by Bloodpool SPECT/CT Using New 3D-Ring CZT System

Puntos clave

To evaluate the effectiveness of blood pool SPECT/CT with a new 3D-ring CZT system in detecting iliotibial band syndrome.
Conducted 99mTc-HDP bone scintigraphy using a 3D-ring CZT system on a 59-year-old woman runner with knee pain.
Utilized blood pool SPECT/CT and late-phase SPECT/CT to identify abnormalities in the left knee.
Confirmed diagnosis of ITBS through MRI following SPECT/CT findings.
Blood pool SPECT/CT detected hyperemia suggestive of ITBS in the left knee.
No abnormalities were observed in the left knee with late-phase SPECT/CT.
MRI findings confirmed the diagnosis of ITBS.

Resumen

A 59-year-old woman runner was referred for left knee pain, with suspicion of stress fracture of the lateral femoral condyle. 99mTc-HDP bone scintigraphy using a new 3D-ring CZT system (StarGuide) was performed. Blood pool SPECT/CT revealed hyperemia between the iliotibial band and the lateral femoral condyle of the left knee, suggestive of iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), while late-phase SPECT/CT did not demonstrate any abnormality in the left knee. The patient underwent an MRI, which confirmed ITBS. Our case emphasizes the potential of blood pool SPECT/CT using a new 3D-ring CZT system to identify relevant extraosseous conditions such as ITBS.
