Clinical Utility of SPECT-(Low-Dose)CT Versus SPECT Alone in Patients Presenting for Bone Scintigraphy

Abstract

Bone SPECT-ldCT provides interpreting physicians a significantly greater level of diagnostic confidence and reduces additional diagnostic imaging studies, but the overall diagnostic accuracy of SPECT-ldCT was not affected when compared with SPECT alone, suggesting that SPECT-ldCT should be used on a patient-by-patient basis.
