Identifying Ga-67 Uptake in Brown Adipose Tissue WithSPECT/CT

A 10-year-old boy complained of pain around his right hip for 3 weeksHe underwent Ga-67 scintigraphy to evaluate possible bone or joint infectionThere was no pathologic Ga-67 uptake near the right hip; however, there was symmetrical Ga67 uptake in his right and left upper chestAn immediate SPECT/CT scan showed radiotracer uptake in bilateral supraclavicular and subclavicular areas corresponding to the low-attenuation regions on CT as the common locations containing brown adipose tissueGa-67 uptake in brown adipose tissue is unusualIntegrated SPECT/CT is helpful for identifying this physiological Ga-67 uptake.
