This study sought to assess the utility of monitoring response to treatment of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) with Tc-99m WBC-labelled single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. This is a retrospective cohort study of 20 patients with DFO with sequential Tc-99m WBC-labelled SPECT/CT imaging. Radiologic findings of osteomyelitis were evaluated and imaging results were correlated with clinical outcomes subtracted from chart review. Successful treatment of osteomyelitis was defined by wound healing and/or lack of re-admission for bone infection of the same site within 1 year. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of SPECT/CT to determine osteomyelitis treatment remission were 90%, 56%, 69% and 83%, respectively. Tc-99m WBC-labelled SPECT/CT imaging may be useful to help determine treatment outcomes for DFO.
本研究旨在评估 Tc-99m WBC 标记单光子发射计算机断层扫描 (SPECT/CT) 成像在监测糖尿病足骨髓炎 (DFO) 治疗反应中的应用价值。这是一项对 20 例 DFO 患者进行的 Tc-99m WBC 标记 SPECT/CT 成像的回顾性队列研究。评估了骨髓炎的放射学发现,并将影像学结果与从图表回顾中减去的临床结果进行了相关性分析。骨髓炎的成功治疗定义为 1 年内同一部位的伤口愈合和/或无骨感染再次入院。SPECT/CT 确定骨髓炎治疗缓解的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值分别为 90%、56%、69%和 83%。Tc-99m WBC 标记 SPECT/CT 成像可能有助于确定 DFO 的治疗结果。
