FDG PET/CT in Disseminated Intracranial and Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tuberculomas.

abstract：:Heel pain is a common symptom in foot and ankle disorders. Typical heel pain can be assessed according to the patient's history and the location of pain. In some atypical inconclusive cases, bone SPECT/CT is the upcoming imaging modality for the detection of causes of heel pain. We present the case of 57-year-old man ...
