Comparative Study
The added value of SPECT/spiral CT in patients with equivocal bony metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the incremental value provided by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/spiral computed tomography (CT) over SPECT alone for the evaluation of equivocal bone lesions in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ⋯ SPECT/spiral CT is more accurate and valuable than SPECT alone in the differential diagnosis of equivocal bone lesions in patients with HCC.

The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic value of common application of CA 125 level measurement and 18F-FDG PET/CT examination in patients with a suspicion of recurrent ovarian cancer. ⋯ CA 125 level does not depend on the localization of the recurrence. PET/CT is particularly useful in patients with a suspicion of relapsing ovarian cancer with CA 125 value of at least 17.6 U/ml.
