Abstract:
Purpose:To evaluate ~(18)F-deoxyglucose dual-head tomography with hPET in the detection of suspected recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer, as compared with CT/MRI imaging. Methods:21 patients with clinically suspected recurrences in non-small-cell lung cancer underwent ~(18)F-FDG hPET and CT/MRI imaging. The final diagnosis of recurrence was proved by pathology or clinical following-up. Results:The ~(18)F-FDG hPET sensitivity, specificity,accuracy,postive predictive value in defining local recurrence were 94.1%,75%,90.5 %,94.1%,respectively ; and those of CT/MRI were 60%,66.7%,61.9%,81.8%, respectively. Conclusions:In comparison with CT/MRI,~(18)F-FDG hPET possesses a higher sensitivity、specificity and accuracy in detecting recurrence in non-small-cell lung cancer.~(18)FDG hPET is quite valuable methd to define the tanget in the radiotherapy of recunent non-small-cell lung cancer,and is less expensive than PET.It is thus recommended for clinical use.
