“…The system provided tomographic sampling, and attenuation and scatter correction of PET data employed the co-registered CT image. Recently, the feasibility of the quad-highdensity avalanche chamber nano-PET small-animal system, 31 the positron emission mammography Flex Solo II system 32,33 and the avalanche photodiode (APD)-based BrainPET system (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) 34 was demonstrated for wrist and hand arthritic imaging. These systems, however, did not have direct means for attenuation and scatter correction, and therefore radiotracer activity quantification is challenging.…”

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) commonly affect the small joints of the wrist and hand. We evaluated the performance of a new, highresolution extremity positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scanner for characterizing and quantifying pathologies associated with the two arthritides in the wrist and hand joints. Methods: Patients with RA or PsA underwent fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) PET/CT wrist and hand imaging, respectively, on the high-resolution scanner. Calibrated CT images and co-registered PET images were reconstructed. PET/CT was derived for the radiocarpal and pisiform-triquetral compartments, joints with erosive changes, sites of synovitis or tenosynovitis and the nail bed and were correlated with clinical and MRI findings.

Textitis is a new term used to refer to the degenerative-strain osteoarthritis that comes from excessive use of a smart phone. 18 F-NaF is increasingly used in diagnosing skeletal pain that is not identified on radiographs. We report a case of a 26-y-old woman with left breast cancer referred for 18 F-NaF PET/CT, who was complaining of right thumb and wrist pain. Findings were negative for bone secondaries. Dedicated hands views were acquired on a positron emission mammography scanner and showed focal uptake at the first carpometacarpal and second metacarpophalangeal joints. On the basis of the strong history, the findings were likely due to active arthritic changes caused by repetitive strain injury from excessive text messaging.
