Metabolic Activity of Neurogenic Heterotopic Ossification on FDG PET/CT Matching with Ongoing Osteoblastic Activity on Bone Scan
Matthieu Dietz Dietzmatthieu, Jeremie Tordo TordojeremieNuclear Medicine Department, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, FranceA 54-year-old man, with previous history of neurogenic heterotopic ossification in muscles around the left hip following a spinal cord injury ten months earlier, was referred to our nuclear medicine center for an FDG PET/CT to rule out a spondylodiscitis. No sign of spondylodiscitis was found on FDG PET/CT, but images revealed an increased FDG uptake in heterotopic ossification areas, matching with ongoing osteoblastic activity on a following bone scan.
