Superscan: Superiority of xSPECT/CT over OSEM SPECT/CT in bone scans of prostate cancer patients.

Abstract Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men. Bone scan part staging modality commonly used to evaluate bone metastasis. A with diffused increased skeletal tracer uptake relative soft tissue, combined faint renal activity known as a superscan. However, primary concern are false negatives associated scans, where diffuse metastasis indistinguishable on superscans. In this study, we performed xSPECT/CT and standard OSEM SPECT/CT reconstruction algorithm in ten prostate patients high PSA levels, they initially seem relatively unremarkable planar images. All extensive metastases showed either scans or did not demonstrate true extent metastatic burden seen Uptake was further confirmed by correlative lesions CT Our reports also indicated that reconstructed images were far superior delineating focal areas osteoblastic metastasis, when compared whole body The evidence delineated excellent clarification We propose image reconstruction, at least SPECT/CT, should be along imaging, improve diagnostic accuracy staging.
