title: SPECT/CT imaging in ulnocarpal impaction syndrome.
abstract: We report a 42-year-old man who presented with ulnar-sided wrist pain. MR image revealed bone marrow edema in the lunate bone. Ulnocarpal impaction syndrome was diagnosed by MRI and arthrography. Bone scintigraphy showed increased uptake in the wrist. SPECT/CT with 2- and 3-dimensional reconstruction images clearly demonstrated abnormal accumulation on the ulnar side of the lunate bone.
