This retrospective study aimed to describe the differences between image readings done with combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and PET read together with contrast-enhanced CT (ceCT) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. In 46 patients, no differences were found between the two readings for assessing infiltration of adjacent structures (P=.63), transgression of the midline (P=.67), lymph node involvement (P=.32), and T- and N stage. PET/CT and PET read together with ceCT have comparable diagnostic yield.
这项回顾性研究旨在描述头颈部鳞状细胞癌患者中,采用正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)联合成像与PET和增强CT(ceCT)一起读片之间的差异。在46例患者中,两种读片方法在评估相邻结构浸润(P = 0.63)、中线侵犯(P = 0.67)、淋巴结受累(P = 0.32)以及T和N分期方面未发现差异。PET/CT和PET与ceCT一起读片具有相当的诊断效能。
