Abstract:
Objective To systematically evaluate the consistency of sensitivity (SEN) and specificity (SPE) between positron-emission tomography (PET) /magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymphoma.Methods The databases,including PubMed,Cochrane Library,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM),CNKI,Wanfang and VIP,were retrieved till October 2016.The studies published the SEN and SPE of PET/MRI and PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymphoma were collected and selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria by two reviewers independently.Then,data extraction and analysis were performed by two independent reviewers.Resnlts A total of 6 studies,including 221 cases of patients with lymphoma,wereincluded.Among the 6 studies,4 of them provided patients-based and site-based data (including one provided data about staging ofdisease),and 2 studies only provided site-based data (including one provided data about staging of disease).The results indicated thatboth PET/MRI and PET/CT can accurately detect the lesions in patients with lymphoma,and the locations and numbers of lesions found bythe two methods were almost the same.Additionally,PET/MRI and PET/CT had high SEN and SPE for detection of lesions in patientswith lymphoma.and had high consistency in the diagnosis of lymphoma.Condusion The SEN and SPE of PET/MRI were similar to those of PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymphoma.PET/MRI may become a significant method for diagnosing lymphoma.
