The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic performances of F-18 sodium fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography (bone PET/CT) and bone scintigraphy (BS) for the detection of thyroid cancer bone metastasis.
We retrospectively enrolled 6 thyroid cancer patients (age = 44.7 ± 9.8 years, M:F = 1:5, papillary:follicular = 2:4) with suspected bone metastatic lesions in the whole body iodine scintigraphy or BS, who subsequently underwent bone PET/CT. Pathologic diagnosis was conducted for 4 lesions of 4 patients.
Of the 17 suspected bone lesions, 10 were metastatic and 7 benign. Compared to BS, bone PET/CT exhibited superior sensitivity (10/10 = 100% vs. 2/10 = 20%, p = 0.008), and accuracy (14/17 = 82.4% vs. 7/17 = 41.2%, p < 0.025). The specificity (4/7 = 57.1%) of bone PET/CT was not significantly different from that of BS (5/7 = 71.4%, p > 0.05).
Bone PET/CT may be more sensitive and accurate than BS for the detection of thyroid cancer bone metastasis.
本研究旨在比较F-18氟化钠正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(骨PET/CT)和骨闪烁显像(BS)对甲状腺癌骨转移的诊断效能。
我们回顾性纳入了6例甲状腺癌患者(年龄=44.7±9.8岁,男:女=1:5,乳头状癌:滤泡状癌=2:4),这些患者在全身碘闪烁显像或BS检查中怀疑有骨转移灶,随后接受了骨PET/CT检查。对4例患者的4个病灶进行了病理诊断。
17个疑似骨病灶中,10个为转移灶,7个为良性。与BS相比,骨PET/CT表现出更高的敏感性(10/10 = 100%对2/10 = 20%,p = 0.008)和准确性(14/17 = 82.4%对7/17 = 41.2%,p < 0.025)。骨PET/CT的特异性(4/7 = 57.1%)与BS的特异性(5/7 = 71.4%)无显著差异(p > 0.05)。
在检测甲状腺癌骨转移方面,骨PET/CT可能比BS更敏感、更准确。
