The aim of our study was to demonstrate the utility of diphosphonate bone single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in diagnosing otosclerosis and to correlate the findings from SPECT with age, gender, and sensorineural hearing loss. We also evaluated the ability of high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT) in detecting otospongiotic and otosclerotic foci and correlated the HR-CT findings with the SPECT results.

    All patients had NHL and demonstrated focal FDG-avid nodular change on CT with density higher than that of fat but lower than that of soft tissue. Histological confirmation was obtained in eight patients, with high GLUT-1 staining between necrotic tissue and organizing fat necrosis evident. Uptake r...
