The objective of this study was the evaluation of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography with Technetium 99m Methylene Diphosphonate (SPECT with 99mTc-MDP) and computed tomography (CT), simultaneously acquired image in diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
A prospective study was conducted with 33 patients, 29 female and 4 male, all of then presenting signs and/or complaints suggestive of temporomandibular dysfunction. SPECT/CT with 99mTc-MDP was performed in all patients and imaging results compared with final diagnosis and clinical outcome.
The correlation of signs and symptoms with SPECT/CT imaging showed sensitivity 100%, specificity 90.91%, and accuracy 96.97%.
SPECT/CT with 99mTc-MDP coregistered imaging fusion is a suitable method of temporomandibular dysfunction diagnosis, due to the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy observed.
本研究的目的是评估锝99m亚甲基二膦酸盐单光子发射计算机断层扫描(99mTc-MDP SPECT)与计算机断层扫描(CT)同时采集的图像在颞下颌关节(TMJ)功能障碍诊断中的应用。
对33例患者进行了一项前瞻性研究,其中29例女性,4例男性,所有患者均表现出提示颞下颌功能障碍的体征和/或症状。所有患者均接受了99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT检查,并将影像学结果与最终诊断和临床结果进行了比较。
体征和症状与SPECT/CT成像的相关性显示敏感性为100%,特异性为90.91%,准确性为96.97%。
由于观察到的敏感性、特异性和准确性,99mTc-MDP同机图像融合SPECT/CT是颞下颌功能障碍诊断的一种合适方法。
