概要 | OBJECTIVE: With the recent improvements in the quantitative accuracy of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/ computed tomography (CT), the value of using standardized uptake value (SUV) in bone SPECT/CT for quantitative assessment has been reported.We established a threshold for inflamed and normal areas of the sternoclavicular joint and examined the clinical value of bone SPECT/CT. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The threshold between the inflamed and normal areas of the sternoclavicular joint was initially calculated. The diagnostic performance of the calculated threshold was subsequently compared with the visual assessment of the whole-body image. The clinical value of the threshold was examined in cases of ambiguous visual assessment and a sub-analysis with pustuloticarthro-osteitis (PAO) patients was done. RESULTS: |
