We report 2 cases where blood-pool SPECT/CT had a high added value compared with standard 3-phase bone scintigraphy with only delayed SPECT/CT for the etiological diagnosis of painful ankles. Two men, aged 48 and 62 years, were referred for suspicions of medial and lateral malleoli stress fractures, respectively. Although standard planar blood-pool imaging and delayed SPECT/CT were inconclusive, blood-pool SPECT/CT showed markedly increased uptake along posterior tibial tendon and peroneal tendon, respectively, leading to diagnose tendonitises. These cases illustrate that blood-pool SPECT/CT can extend the diagnostic yield of bone scintigraphy to extraosseous origin, particularly in chronic lower extremities pain.
