Pictorial atlas of symptomatic accessory ossicles by 18 F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET-CT.
Accessory ossicles are developmental variants which are often asymptomatic. When incidentally picked up on imaging, they are often inconsequential and rarely a cause for concern. However, they may cause pain or discomfort due to trauma, altered stress, and over-activity. Nuclear scintigraphy may play a role in the diagnosis and localizing pain generators. 18 F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) is a PET imaging agent used in bone imaging. Although commonly used in imaging patients with cancer imaging malignancy, 18 F-NaF may be useful in the evaluation of benign bone and joint conditions. In this article, we would like to present a spectrum of clinical cases and review the potential diagnostic utility of 18 F-NaF in the assessment of symptomatic accessory ossicles in patients referred for staging cancers.
