CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: Skeletal infections are often a diagnostic and clinical challenge. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: Nuclear imaging modalities used in the diagnostic workup of acute and chronic skeletal infections include three-phase bone scintigraphy and scintigraphy with labelled leucocytes. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: The introduction of hybrid technologies, such as single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) has dramatically changed nuclear medical imaging of infections. PERFORMANCE: In general SPECT/CT leads to a considerably more accurate diagnosis than planar or SPECT imaging. ACHIEVEMENTS: Given the integrated acquisition of metabolic, functional and morphological information, SPECT/CT has increased in particular the specificity of three-phase skeletal scanning and scintigraphy with labeled leucocytes.
