Abstract

Purpose: In this study, the aim is to compare the findings of conventional bone scintigraphyand whole-body magnetic resonance imaging for the known primary malignancy in patientswith bone metastases.Methods: 34 patients were studied with retrospectively and prospectively. The detectionsensitivity, specificity and adaptation of bone metastases were examined whit whole-bodymagnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy.Results: Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging has a higher sensitivity than bonescintigraphy for the detection of metastases.Conclusion: Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging can be used for bone metastases forscreening as an alternative imaging modality

KAS İSKELET SİSTEMİNDE METASTAZ TARAMASINDA KEMİK SİNTİGRAFİSİ İLE TÜM VÜCUT MANYETİK REZONANS GÖRÜNTÜLEMENİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızda, bilinen primer malignitesi olup, kemik metastazı bulunan olgularda tümvücut magnetik rezonans görüntüleme ile konvansiyonel kemik sintigrafi bulgularınınkarşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Materyal ve Metod: 34 olgu retrospektif ve prospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Tüm vücutmagnetik rezonans görüntüleme ile kemik sintigrafisinin, kemik metastazlarını saptamadakiduyarlılık, özgüllük ve uyumları incelenmiştir.Bulguar: Tüm vücut magnetik rezonans görüntüleme, kemik sintigrafisine oranla metastazsaptamada daha yüksek bir duyarlılığa sahiptir.Sonuç: Kemik metastazının taranmasında tüm vücut magnetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemi,kemik sintigrafisine alternatif bir görüntüleme yöntemi olarak kullanılabilir
