This thesis described the additional value of bone scintigraphy with [^99mTc]Tcoxidronate
including Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography / Computed
Tomography (bone-SPECT/CT) and of positron emission tomography with integrated
computed tomography using sodium fluoride-18 (Na[¹⁸F]F-PET/CT) in patients with
selected benign bone and joint disease, aiming to improve patient management.
Specific subjects of investigation included patients with post-operative painful knees, wrists and hands, peri-operative tarsal coalitions, and patients with fibrous dysplasia
before and after treatment.
