ACR Appropriateness Criteria <sup>®</sup> Shoulder Pain-Atraumatic
2018, Journal of the American College of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Bone scintigraphic abnormalities may be seen in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy [95-97]. Meta-analyses have found only moderate concordance between bone scintigraphy and the presence or absence of CRPS [98], and low sensitivity for detection of CRPS when compared to clinical diagnostic criteria [99-101]. Bone scintigraphic does have high specificity, and can be used to rule out CRPS [101].
ACR Appropriateness Criteria <sup>®</sup> Shoulder Pain–Traumatic
2018, Journal of the American College of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Bone scintigraphy may be helpful in assessing for CRPS in patients experiencing chronic post-traumatic pain without clear etiology. Meta-analyses have found only moderate concordance between bone scintigraphy and the presence or absence of CRPS [86] and low sensitivity for detection of CRPS when compared with clinical diagnostic criteria [87-89]. However, bone scintigraphy does have high specificity and can be used to rule out CRPS [89].

2014, PainCitation Excerpt :Also, our group of healthy subjects was similarly distributed regarding gender and handedness compared to the patient groups. It was previously demonstrated that the increased periarticular bone metabolism of the distal hand joints in the TPBS is a feature only of the early stage of CRPS and might not be detectable in patients with longer disease duration [20,22,41]. Because we only included patients with disease duration of less than 1 year, this study could not reveal whether the ROI scores still correlated with the PPT of the PIP and MCP in later stages of the disease and whether the determination of a decreased PPT of the distal hand joints stays specific and sensitive for CRPS.
