Description
We aimed to assess the differential diagnostic efficacy of dynamic F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) and to evaluate the appropriate scan timings for diagnosis of musculoskeletal lesions (MSLs). Dynamic scans (5–15 [phase 1], 15–25 [phase 2], and 25–35 [phase 3] min after F-18 FDG injection) and dual-time-point scans (1 and 2 h after injection) were acquired for 23 MSLs [4 benign MSLs (BMSLs). 10 primary malignant musculoskeletal tumors (PMMSTs), and 9 metastatic musculoskeletal tumors (MMSTs)]. We compared the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and corresponding retention indices for dynamic (RI-SUVdyn) and dual-time-point (RI-SUVdual) scans and evaluated diagnostic efficacy using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses. The SUVmax gradually decreased or was almost identical with minimal fluctuation in 3 BMSLs and 1 PMMST. SUVmax increased over time after phase 2 in 18 malignant MSLs (MMSLs). There were significant differences in SUVmax (for all time phases) and RI-SUV dual between BMSLs and MMSLs and between PMMSTs and MMSTs. In the ROC analyses, the areas under the curve for SUV in phases 2 and 3 were highest for differentiating BMSLs from MMSLs and PMMSTs from MMSTs, respectively. Dynamic F-18 FDG PET/CT is valuable for diagnosis of musculoskeletal lesions.
