Obscure pain around the foot and ankle can be notoriously difficult to localise. Anatomical imaging studies will often require supporting evidence from functional scintigraphic studies in the more difficult cases. Single photon emission computerised tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) is a novel technique combining these two studies instantaneously in a single scan. We present six cases from our ongoing experience with SPECT-CT. Caution in the use of SPEC-CT is suggested by one of these cases. Five cases extol the virtues we perceive of the technique whilst the sixth presents a note of caution. Our findings are supported in the current literature and serve to refine the place for this emerging imaging technique.
足部和踝关节周围的隐匿性疼痛通常很难定位。在更困难的情况下，解剖影像学研究通常需要功能性闪烁扫描研究的支持证据。单光子发射计算机断层扫描-计算机断层扫描（SPECT-CT）是一种将这两种研究瞬间结合在单次扫描中的新技术。我们展示了 SPECT-CT 正在进行的经验中的六个案例。其中一个案例提示在使用 SPEC-CT 时要谨慎。前五个案例赞扬了我们认为该技术的优点，而第六个案例则提出了一个注意事项。我们的发现得到了当前文献的支持，并有助于完善这种新兴成像技术的应用。
