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.
