Diagnostic value of MRI in comparison to scintigraphy, PET, MS-CT and PET/CT for the detection of metastases of bone

摘要: Abstract The initial localization of metastases in the bone patients with solid tumors has a relatively good prognosis comparison visceral metastasization. early detection marrow allows for rapid initiation therapy and subsequent reduction morbidity rate. Modern MRI is superior to 30-year-old skeletal scintigraphy respect sensitivity, specificity, as well extent osteal metastasis. provides sustantial, therapy-relevant additional information. MSCT plays an important role management cancer clinical routine gives excellent survey axial skeleton by demonstrating osteolytic osteoblastic metastases. Extensive comparative studies 18 F-FDG-PET F-fluoride-PET have not yet been carried out. Whole body very promising new staging method oncological diagnosis adoption FDG side PET-CT image fusion two one PET/CT examinations appears be slightly less sensitive whole Larger, prospective multicenter are necessary establish these new, methods
