A 71-year-old male with severe left hip pain during motion underwent a ^99mTc MDP bone SPECT/CT of the pelvis and lumbar spine. xSPECT Bone sharply delineates increased uptake in left acetabulum corresponding to irregular articular surface, peri-articular sclerosis, and narrowing of joint space seen on CT.

Iterative metal artifact reduction (iMAR) results in the resolution of the vast majority of artifacts associated with dental implants in this head and neck case, which can result in more accurate assessment of functional activity.

Artifacts from bilateral hip prosthesis can result in severe distortion of adjacent anatomical structures. With iMAR, these artifacts are significantly reduced, resulting in images that more accurately reflect anatomy and thus may lead to more accurate image interpretation.

iMAR reduced metal artifacts from the right hip prosthesis, enabling a more thorough inspection of the pelvis.

A 22-hour post-injection SPECT/CT scan using xSPECT Quant™ showed heterogeneous tracer uptake in the known primary tumor of the pancreas. xSPECT Quant enables quantification of uptake, which allows dosimetric estimation and assessment of therapeutic response. The use of SAFIRE helped to significantly reduce the noise in the CT image.

xSPECT Quant allows accurate determination of activity in multiple osseous lesions following therapy with ¹⁷⁷Lu PSMA. xSPECT Quant also enables dosimetry applications in order to achieve the highest possible dose to sites of disease while minimizing toxicity risks.

xSPECT Quant allows for a more accurate evaluation of radiotracer uptake of a suspicious right adrenal gland lesion. Quantification can be helpful in the initial assessment of disease as well as monitoring the therapeutic response.

xSPECT Bone™ sharply delineates skeletal hypermetabolism in the left facet joints of L3-L5 vertebra adjactent to vertebral stabilization pins reflecting bony remodeling and facet arthropathy, which are secondary to vertebral fixation.

^99mTc MDP Bone SPECT/CT was performed to evaluate loosening of fixation plate. xSPECT Bone shows sharp delineation of focal increased uptake in the bodies of C6 and C7 around the margin of the anterior fixation plate, which suggests hypermetabolism related to bone stress that is secondary to instability and loosening of the anterior fixation plate and screw.

A 15-year-old female involved in sports presented with lower back pain. xSPECT Bone shows sharp delineation of focal increased uptake corresponding to bilateral pars fracture in L4 vertebrae, which are delineated on the CT with higher intensity of uptake in the left side.

A 71-year-old male with severe left hip pain during motion underwent a ^99mTc MDP bone SPECT/CT of the pelvis and lumbar spine. xSPECT Bone sharply delineates increased uptake in left acetabulum corresponding to irregular articular surface, peri-articular sclerosis, and narrowing of joint space seen on CT.
