Эффективность МРТ в уточнении наличия метастазов в кости при спорном результате ОФЭКТ/КТ

Purpose : To demonstrate a clinical case of metastatic lesions of the bones, which clearly reflects the difference in the sensitivity of diagnostic methods SPECT/CT and MRI. Material and methods : A 69-year-old female patient with poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma, which underwent WBS, SPECT/CT and MRI. Results : MRI revealed several metastases that were not reflected on SPECT/CT examination. Conclusion : Despite the high sensitivity and specificity of SPECT/CT, in some cases additional diagnostic methods are required. MRI allows to clarify and, possibly, detect previously undetected metastases.
