ملخص البحث

We report the case of a 74-year-old man with seropositive rheu- matoid arthritis (RA) and radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent dual-phase high-resolution 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT. Early radiotracer en- hancement was noted in 2 RA joints of the right hand, both presenting with a ring-like uptake pattern around the joint, consistent with synovitis. Insig- nificant early enhancement was noted at the first carpometacarpal joint, de- spite presentation of CT features of OA. The delayed-phase enhancement patterns were distinct, showing asymmetry in RA joints, but a symmetric, joint-centered pattern for the OA joint.
