To evaluate the potential use of technetium 99m (99mTc) (V) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy in the detection and localization of intestinal inflammation.
In a prospective study, 62 patients who were suspected of having intestinal inflammation and 30 control subjects were enrolled. All patients underwent 99mTc (V) DMSA scintigraphy and colonoscopy with biopsy within 1 week. 99mTc (V) DMSA scintigrams were interpreted blindly with respect to clinical information, and radiotracer uptake in the bowel segments was graded. The findings were then compared with the results of the colonoscopy and colonoscopic biopsy.
In the detection of intestinal inflammation, findings at 99mTc (V) DMSA scintigraphy were as follows: true-positive in 55, false-positive in two, true-negative in 32, and false-negative in three. Overall sensitivity was 95%; overall specificity, 94%; and overall accuracy, 95%.
Our results show that 99mTc (V) DMSA scintigraphy is a useful noninvasive diagnostic test for the detection and localization of intestinal inflammation.
评估锝99m(99mTc)(V)二巯基丁二酸(DMSA)闪烁扫描术在检测和定位肠道炎症中的潜在应用。
在一项前瞻性研究中,纳入了62例疑似肠道炎症的患者和30例对照受试者。所有患者在1周内均接受了99mTc(V)DMSA闪烁扫描术及结肠镜检查并活检。99mTc(V)DMSA闪烁扫描图在不参考临床信息的情况下进行盲法解读,对肠段的放射性示踪剂摄取情况进行分级。然后将结果与结肠镜检查及结肠镜活检结果进行比较。
在检测肠道炎症方面,99mTc(V)DMSA闪烁扫描术的结果如下:真阳性55例,假阳性2例,真阴性32例,假阴性3例。总体敏感性为95%;总体特异性为94%;总体准确性为95%。
我们的结果表明,99mTc(V)DMSA闪烁扫描术是一种用于检测和定位肠道炎症的有用的非侵入性诊断试验。
