摘要:
目的探讨定量SPECT/CT骨显像中最大标准摄取值(SUVmax)对骨良恶性病灶的鉴别诊断及潜在增益价值。 方法回顾性分析2019年4 ~12月经病理证实为非骨原发恶性肿瘤患者行骨显像检查,并因异常放射性浓聚灶行SPECT/CT检查及定量分析者124例,共发现病灶294个,同时选取92个正常椎体为对照组,比较良、恶性病灶、对照组间SUVmax的差异性。将病例分为两组:第1组收集2019年4 ~7月46例检查者共108个病灶,绘制ROC曲线得到SUVmax诊断恶性病灶的界值,第2组收集2019年8 ~12月78例检查者共186个病灶,比较常规SPECT/CT定性分析与常规SPECT/CT定性+SUVmax定量分析的诊断效能。 结果以病理和/或12月及以上的影像学随访(WBS、CT、MRI、PET/CT)为判断金标准,诊断恶性病灶137例,良性病灶157例;恶性病灶、良性病灶和对照组的SUVmax分别为27.29±14.44、16.28±10.21和6.91±1.41 g/mL(P < 0.01)。通过第1组数据绘制ROC曲线得到SUVmax≥18.2 g/mL为诊断恶性病灶界值,在第2组中常规SPECT/CT定性分析、常规SPECT/CT定性+SUVmax定量分析的诊断敏感度分别为88.5%和94.9%,特异性为93.5%和93.5%,准确度为91.4%和94.1%,ROC曲线下面积分别为0.91(95% CI:0.86~0.95)和0.96(95%CI:0.94~0.98)(P=0.01)。 结论定量SPECT/CT SUVmax在骨良恶性病灶鉴别诊断中具有重要临床应用价值,且存在一定的增益价值。 -

Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the differential diagnosis value and incremental value of the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) of quantitative SPECT/CT imaging in benign and malignant bone lesions. MethodsFrom April to December in 2019, 124 patients with extraskeletal malignant tumors who underwent whole body bone scan (WBS) and quantitative SPECT/ CT were enrolled. A total of 294 abnormal tracer-positive concentration lesions was detected, and 92 normal vertebras were included as the control group. The differences of SUVmax among the benign, malignant, and control groups were analyzed. All lesions were further divided into two groups: The first group collected 46 cases totaling 108 lesions from April to July in 2019 and plotted ROC curve to obtain cut-off values of SUVmax. The second group prospectively collected 78 cases with 186 lesions from August to December 2019 and compared the diagnostic efficacy between SPECT/CT qualitative analysis and SPECT/CT qualitative+SUVmax quantitative analysis. ResultsUsing pathology and/or follow-up imaging (WBS, CT, MRI and/or PET/CT) for at least 12 months as the golden standard, 137 malignant, and 157 benign lesions were determined. The SUVmax of malignant lesions (27.29±14.44 g/mL) was significantly higher than benign lesions (16.28±10.21 g/mL, P=0.00) and the controls (6.91±1.41 g/mL, P=0.00). Using the cut-off value of SUVmax≥18.2 g/mL as the diagnostic criterion for malignant lesions obtained by the ROC curve in the first group, the sensitivities of SPECT/CT qualitative analysis and SPECT/CT qualitative + SUVmax quantitative analysis were 88.5% and 94.9%; specificities were 93.5%, and 93.5%; accuracies were 91.4% and 94.1%, respectively. The area under curve of ROC curve were 0.91(95% CI: 0.86-0.95) and 0.96(95% CI: 0.94-0.98), respectively, the differences between them were significant (P=0.01). ConclusionQuantitative SPECT/CT SUVmax has important clinical application and incremental value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant bone lesions. -
