To assess dual time point 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose (18)(F)FDG PET-CT accuracy in nodal staging and in detection of extra-axillary involvement.
Dual time point [(18)F] FDG PET/CT scan was performed in 75 patients. Visual and semiquantitative assessment of lymph nodes was performed. Semiquantitative measurement of SUV and ROC-analysis were carried out to calculate SUV(max) cut-off value with the best diagnostic performance. Axillary and extra-axillary lymph node chains were evaluated.
Sensitivity and specificity of visual assessment was 87.3% and 75%, respectively. SUV(max) values with the best sensitivity were 0.90 and 0.95 for early and delayed PET, respectively. SUV(max) values with the best specificity were 1.95 and 2.75, respectively. Extra-axillary lymph node involvement was detected in 26.7%.
FDG PET/CT detected extra-axillary lymph node involvement in one-fourth of the patients. Semiquantitative lymph node analysis did not show any advantage over the visual evaluation.
评估双时间点2-脱氧-2-[(18)F]氟-D-葡萄糖(18)F-FDG PET-CT在淋巴结分期及检测腋窝外受累情况方面的准确性。
对75例患者进行双时间点[(18)F] FDG PET/CT扫描。对淋巴结进行视觉和半定量评估。进行SUV的半定量测量及ROC分析,以计算具有最佳诊断性能的SUV(最大值)临界值。评估腋窝及腋窝外淋巴结链。
视觉评估的敏感性和特异性分别为87.3%和75%。早期和延迟PET具有最佳敏感性的SUV(最大值)分别为0.90和0.95。具有最佳特异性的SUV(最大值)分别为1.95和2.75。检测到26.7%的患者有腋窝外淋巴结受累。
FDG PET/CT在四分之一的患者中检测到腋窝外淋巴结受累。半定量淋巴结分析与视觉评估相比未显示出任何优势。
