Abstract

Three phase bone scan is performed routinely to identify bone and joint abnormalities in patients with suspected acute osteomyelitis with or without septic arthritis. However, abnormalities detected on bone scan may not always represent disease. We present two cases where the use of traditional medicine by the patients creates unusual pitfalls and artifacts. In addition it highlights the clinical relevance of SPECT-CT in differentiating uncommon artifacts.
