Abstract

The sensitivity and accuracy of ¹⁸F-fluoride PET/CT for the detection of bone metastases of DTC are significantly higher than those of ⁹⁹mTc bone scintigraphy (planar). However, the sensitivity and accuracy of ⁹⁹mTc bone scintigraphy (planar) are improved near to those of ¹⁸F-fluoride PET/CT when SPECT is added to a planar scan. The sensitivity of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT is significantly lower than that of 18F-fluoride PET/CT or ⁹⁹mTc bone scintigraphy (SPECT).
