Nuclear imaging
• is capable of providing physiological details of CH
using radionuclide-labeled tracers
• Planar scintigraphy produces a two-dimensional
image, as opposed to SPECT and PET, which
produce three-dimensional images.
• Bone scintigraphy has high sensitivity and low
specificity for bone metabolism, meaning that it
can identify when a change in bone metabolism is
present but is limited in its ability to differentiate
among various conditions (e.g., bone healing,
growth, infection, arthritic changes, or tumors)
