    FIGURE 1.

    (A) Coronal T1-weighted MR image showing left slipped capital femoral epiphysis (arrow). (B) Axial fused 3-dimensional SPECT/CT image showing uptake in femoral head (arrow), with satisfactory appearance of articular surface. (C) Radiograph obtained at 2-y follow-up showing smooth outline of left femoral head (arrow).

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    (A) Coronal T1-weighted MR image showing left slipped capital epiphysis (arrow). (B) Postoperative axial fused 3-dimensional SPECT/CT image showing absence of uptake in left femoral head (arrow), in keeping with nonviable region. (C) Radiograph obtained at 2-y follow-up showing collapse of left femoral head (arrow) at same site where 3-dimensional SPECT/CT showed nonviable femoral head.
