Sinus Tarsi Syndrome on Bone Scintigraphy With SPECT/CT Spectrum of Findings

Sinus tarsi syndrome is a common cause of hindfoot pain in adults; however, diagnosis on planar bone scintigraphy can be challenging. We present 3 cases of sinus tarsi syndrome, review the spectrum of imaging findings associated with sinus tarsi syndrome, and show the key role that SPECT/CT can play in its diagnosis.
