fdg-pet/mri fused data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment

چکیده
background: to retrospectively describe imaging characteristics of liver metastases on fused fdg-pet/ mri data sets and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of mri and fused fdg-pet/mri data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment. materials and methods: 43 oncological patients (mean age: 56+/- 11 years) were investigated by fdg-pet/ct and liver mri. fdg-pet data from pet/ct scans were fused with mri. 556 lesions were evaluated. 5 different evaluation algorithms were used for fdg-pet/ mri evaluation. the sensitivity, specifity, ppv, npv and accuracy of mri and fdg-pet/mri data for the detection of liver metastases were calculated. a mean follow-up of 647 days served as reference standard. mcnemar’s test was used to test for statistically significant differences between mri and fdg-pet/mri (p<0.5). results: the sensitivity, specificity, ppv, npv and accuracy of mri for the detection of liver metastases were 86%, 81%, 97%, 47%, and 85% and 50%, 100%, 100%, 22%, and 56%, for fdgpet/ mri. fdg-pet/mri was significantly less accurate than mri alone (p<.001). conclusion: in opposite to patients before systemic anticancer therapy the fusion of fdg-pet data with liver mri cannot be recommended for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic oncological therapy. iran. j. radiat. res., 2012 9(4): 209-219

The role of FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of treatment response in a case of calcified ovarian metastases
Evaluation of calcified metastatic lesions by conventional imaging can be challenging. Ovarian cancer metastases can present with calcification which might increase in size and number following therapy. It is not entirely clear whether these calcifications are associated with tumor response or disease progression. Calcified lesions which do not change in size or configuration are particularly p...
