Overview
Bone scan, SPECT scan, DEXA scan and thermography may be helpful in identifying the cause of back pain.
Other Imaging Findings
- Bone scan is used to diagnose and monitor infection, fracture, or disorders in the bone. Pathologies including bone metastases, osteomyelitis, and some benign skeletal lesions can be detected with a bone scan.[1]
- A bone scan can be paired with SPECT scan if intricate bone details are required for diagnosis, as in the case of lumbar facet disease.[2]
- DEXA scan is helpful in assessing osteoporosis risk and predicts development of potential small vertebral fractures.[3]
- Thermography may be used to detect the presence or absence of nerve root compression, especially when the sympathetic nerves are involved.[4]
