Planar imaging is usually undertaken to sample whole body or specific area of interest to ascertain radiotracer accumulation. Presence of any other pathology near the area of interest may produce a wrong interpretation in a planar image. To overcome this problem, tomographic imaging using SPECT is useful. We present a case where SPECT imaging helped in localizing the site of infection in an 80-year male patient with right hip prosthesis undergoing 99mTc-Ciprofloxacin (Diagnobact) imaging for ruling out infected prosthesis.
