Abstract
We report the MDP SPECT/CT findings of Baastrup disease in the interspinal region of L4 to L5 in a 76-year-old woman with a history of lung cancer. Baastrup disease, also known as "kissing" spine, is characterized by close contact of adjacent spinous processes with resultant enlargement, flattening, and reactive sclerosis of apposing interspinous surfaces. Knowledge regarding the appearance of Baastrup disease on 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT is important to distinguish it from spinal bone metastasis.
