Case in brief

A 63-year-old man presented with left knee pain, initially suspected to be complex regional pain syndrome. After a normal plain radiograph, blood pool SPECT/CT using a new 3D-ring CZT system revealed intense hyperemia along the patellar tendon, indicating infrapatellar bursitis. Late-phase imaging showed increased uptake at the tibial tuberosity, suggesting patellar tendinopathy. This case illustrates the utility of advanced imaging in diagnosing knee bursitis.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Blood pool SPECT/CT with a 3D-ring CZT system can effectively identify extraosseous conditions like knee bursitis, which may not be evident on standard imaging.
