Limitations exist with the use of computer tomography (CT) in evaluating tumour recurrence at the site of previous chest wall reconstruction due to poor differentiation between inflammatory change and tumour recurrence. This case highlights the value of combined positron emission tomography and CT, which generates detailed anatomical and metabolic profiles in this diagnostic dilemma.
由于炎症变化与肿瘤复发之间难以区分,在评估既往胸壁重建部位的肿瘤复发时,计算机断层扫描(CT)的应用存在局限性。本病例突出了正电子发射断层扫描与CT联合使用的价值,在这一诊断困境中,该联合检查可生成详细的解剖和代谢图像。
