Description

The principal purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of hybrid SPECT/CT imaging in the exploration of wrist occult fractures and to extrapolate the contribution of SPECT/CT in the management of patient therapy. The hybrid SPECT/CT imaging has an excellent sensitivity and specificity higher than classical bone scintigraphy. It allows an earlier and complete assessment of carp injuries improving the therapy management and reducing the occurring of side effects. (N.C.)
