Comparative Study
A Comparison of Accuracy of Planar and Evolution SPECT/CT Bone Imaging in Differentiating Benign from Metastatic Bone Lesions.
To compare sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and diagnostic confidence in the differentiation between benign and metastatic bone lesions on whole body planar bone scintigraphy and Evolution SPECT/CT. ⋯ Differentiation of benign and metastatic lesions by Evolution SPECT/CT images has superior diagnostic performance and diagnostic confidence over the planar scintigraphy. Thus, Evolution SPECT/CT images should be considered in characterization of indeterminate lesions on planar scintigraphy, especially in the axial skeleton.
