Assessment of inflammatory jaw pathologies using bone SPECT-CT maximum standardized uptake value.

CONCLUSIONS: Bone SPECT-CT SUVmax in the uptake of 99mTc hydroxymethylene diphosphonate reflecting bone physiological changes for chronic osteomyelitiswere significantly higher than those of osteonecrosis, such as osteoradionecrosisand MRONJ.Bone SPECT-CT SUVmaxshould be useful for the assessment of inflammatory jaw pathologies, such as chronic osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis and MRONJ.
