The use of 99mTc-UBI 29-41 SPECT-CT served as a tool to avoid a second invasive procedure; instead, conservative management with antibiotics was performed with an effective outcome after two weeks. This radiotracer has utility in cases in which infection is suspected, but the location is not entirely clear, and information is needed to guide the therapeutic approach.
