Abstract:
Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT plays an important role in the diagnosis of bone metastasis from lung cancer,and can reflect the pathophysiological and morphological changes in lesion of bone metastasis.The sensitivity,specificity and the overall accuracy of PET-CT for the diagnosis of bone metastasis in patients with lung cancer are higher than those of routine methods such as X-ray,CT scan,MRI and SPECT/CT.
