Bone scintigraphy is one of the mainstays of molecular imaging. It has retained its relevance in the imaging of acute and chronic trauma and sporting injuries in particular. The basic reasons for its longevity are the high lesional conspicuity and technological changes in gamma camera design. The implementation of hybrid imaging devices with computed tomography scanners colocated with the gamma camera has revolutionized the technique by allowing a host of improvements in spatial resolution and anatomical registration. Both bone and soft-tissue lesions can be visualized and identified with greater and more convincing accuracy. The additional benefit of detecting injury before anatomical changes in high-level athletes has cost and performance advantages over other imaging modalities. The applications of the new imaging techniques will be illustrated in the setting of bone and soft-tissue trauma arising from sporting injuries.
骨闪烁成像术是分子成像的主要方法之一。它在急性和慢性创伤以及运动损伤的成像中仍然具有重要意义。其经久不衰的基本原因是病变的高显影度和伽马相机设计的技术变化。具有与伽马相机共置的计算机断层扫描设备的混合成像设备的应用通过允许在空间分辨率和解剖配准方面进行大量改进而彻底改变了该技术。可以更准确、更有说服力地可视化和识别骨和软组织病变。在高水平运动员出现解剖结构变化之前检测到损伤的额外益处使其具有成本和性能优势，超过了其他成像方式。新成像技术的应用将在运动损伤引起的骨和软组织创伤的背景下进行说明。
