Table 3. Locations of bone metastases on CE-FDG-PET-CT vs CE-FDG-PET-MR.

  CE-FDG-PET-CT CE-FDG-PET-MR
Appendicular skeleton 2/90 (2.22%) 8/141 (5.67%)
Vertebrae 29/90 (32.22%) 38/141 (26.95%)
Pelvic bones 35/90 (38.89%) 60/141 (42.55%)
Ribs 6/90 (6.67%) 9/141 (6.38%)
Sternum 12/90 (13.33%) 18/141 (12.76%)
Skull 6/90 (6.67%) 8/141 (5.67%)

Abbreviations: CE-FDG-PET-CT=contrast enhanced-fluorodexossyglucose-positron emission tomography-computed tomography; MR=magnetic resonance.

No statistically significant differences were found between locations of bone metastases on CE-FDG-PET-CT vs CE-FDG-PET-MR. Most of the bone metastases affected the spine and pelvic bones.
