F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography in the diagnosis of tumor recurrence and metastases in the follow-up of patients with breast carcinoma: a comparison to conventional imaging

AIM: To evaluate the role of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET) in the follow-up of breast carcinoma in case of clinical suspicion of local recurrence or distant metastases and/or tumor marker increase in correlation to conventional imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of the results of F-18 FDG PET (ECAT ART(R), Siemens CTI MS) of 62 patients (age 58.5 +/- 12.8) with surgically resected breast carcinoma (time interval after surgery, 86 +/- 82 months, mean follow-up 24 +/- 12.6 months). Patient- and lesion-based comparison with conventional imaging (CI) including mammography (MG), ultrasonography (US), computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography (XR) and bone scintigraphy (BS). Furthermore, we evaluated the influence on tumor stage and therapeutic strategy. A visual qualitative evaluation of lesions was performed. RESULTS: On a patient base, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy for detecting local recurrence or distant metastases were calculated to be 97%, 82%, 87%, 96% and 90% compared with 84%, 60%, 73%, 75% and 74% with CI. On a lesion base, significantly more lymph node (84 vs. 23, P < 0.05) and fewer bone metastases (61 vs. 97, P < 0.05) could be detected by using F-18 FDG PET compared with CI. Sclerotic bone lesions were predominantly detected by BS. On the other hand, there were several patients with more FDG positive bone lesions and also mixed FDG positive/Tc-99m methylenediphosphonate (MDP) negative and FDG negative/Tc-99m MDP positive metastases. In case of normal tumor markers, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy for detecting local recurrence or distant metastases were calculated to be 100%, 85.0%, 78.6%, 100% and 90.3% for FDG PET and 80%, 50%, 50%, 80% and 61.5% for CI. An upstaging could be observed in 9.7% (6/62) and downstaging in 12.9% (8/62), leading to a change in therapeutic regimen in 13 patients (21%). CONCLUSIONS: F-18 FDG PET demonstrates apparent advantages in the diagnosis of metastases in patients with breast carcinoma, compared with conventional imaging on a patient base. On a lesion base, significantly more lymph node and less bone metastases can be detected by using F-18 FDG PET compared with conventional imaging, including bone scintigraphy. In patients with clinical suspicion but negative tumor marker profile, too, F-18 FDG PET seems to be a reliable imaging tool for detection of tumor recurrence or metastases. Considering the high predictive value of F-18 FDG PET, tumor stage and therapeutic strategy will be reconsidered in several patients.

Feasibility of dual-isotope coincidence/single-photon imaging of the myocardium.

Hybrid PET scanners offer the possibility of obtaining myocardial viability information from coincidence imaging of the positron emitter (18)F-FDG and perfusion measurements from a single-photon tracer-potentially simultaneously. This new approach is less costly and more readily available than dedicated PET and offers potential for improved FDG resolution and sensitivity compared with SPECT with 511-keV collimators. Simultaneous imaging of the coincidence and single-photon events offers the further advantages of automatic image registration and reduced imaging time. However, the feasibility of simultaneous coincidence/single-photon imaging or even immediately sequential imaging is unknown. In this study, the potential of using standard low-energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimators with hybrid PET to obtain coincidence and SPECT data was assessed. METHODS: Phantom and human studies were performed to investigate the effect of LEHR collimators on FDG coincidence imaging with a hybrid PET system, the effect of the presence of (99m)Tc during FDG coincidence imaging with LEHR collimators, and the effect of the presence of FDG during (99m)Tc SPECT imaging. RESULTS: FDG images were somewhat degraded (a measure of myocardial nonuniformity increased 10%) with LEHR collimators. With 148 MBq (4 mCi) (99m)Tc present during FDG imaging of a phantom, image quality was maintained and the number of detected coincidences changed by <5%. With (99m)Tc/(18)F whole-body ratios of 7:1, crosstalk from (18)F photons accounted for the majority of counts in the (99m)Tc SPECT images and resulted in severe artifacts. The artifacts were decreased with a simple crosstalk correction scheme but remained problematic. CONCLUSION: (99m)Tc/(18)F ratios of at least 9:1 and state-of-the-art reconstruction and crosstalk correction are likely to be required to perform immediately sequential coincidence/single-photon imaging of the myocardium with clinically useful results. Additional challenges remain before simultaneous imaging of coincidence events and single photons can be realized in practice.     

99Tc(m)(V)DMSA scintigraphy in skeletal metastases and superscans arising from various malignancies: diagnosis, treatment monitoring and therapeutic implications

Skeletal metastases arising from a wide variety of malignancies including a few cases with superscan appearance were evaluated using (99)Tc(m) MDP bone scanning and (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA scintigraphy. Whole body planar scans were obtained at 3 h and 24 h after injection of 740 MBq (99)Tc(m) MDP and 5 days later at similar times after injection of 555 MBq of (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA. A qualitative as well as quantitative comparison was made between the (99)Tc(m) MDP bone scan and the (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA scan in detection of osseous metastases. The reference methods used for discordant or equivocal lesions were correlative morphological imaging modalities, for example additional conventional radiography, CT or MRI. The present pictorial review deals with the results of qualitative analysis of the study. A total of 75 cases have been evaluated. The vignettes illustrated in the present article demonstrate avid (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA concentration in skeletal metastases from a wide variety of malignancies and thus expand the potential therapeutic indications for 188/186 Re(V)DMSA. The study also demonstrates the valuable supporting role a (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA scan can play in the confirmation as well as evaluation of the extent of malignant infiltration in a suspected superscan in routine skeletal scintigraphy. In addition, a (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA scan detected a number of metastatic lesions in and around joints and regions with previous surgical intervention that were inconclusive in the bone scan. The results in a few patients who were available for repeat scintigraphy following treatment, support the convincing evidence that (99)Tc(m)(V)DMSA accumulation may be a sensitive indicator of patient response to therapy. This might have an important bearing in the context of increasing "cold" bisphosphonate usage in the treatment of skeletal metastases, where skeletal scintigraphy with a radiolabelled bisphosphonate derivative can often be fallacious because of competitive inhibition by the non-labelled form.     

Tc-99m(V) DMSA imaging. A new approach to studying metastases from breast carcinoma.

Combined Tc-99m MDP skeletal imaging and Tc-99m(V) DMSA whole body scans to detect metastases were performed during the follow-up of 30 patients who underwent surgery for breast carcinoma. Eight patients had normal Tc-99m MDP and Tc-99m(V) DMSA scans and were declared free of metastatic disease, further confirmed by no change in symptomatology over a 1-year follow-up period. Twenty-two patients had positive Tc-99m MDP scans with varied skeletal involvement. Tc-99m(V) DMSA scans showed matched areas of increased radiotracer concentration in bony metastases in 20 of these patients. Tc-99m(V) DMSA concentration was not seen in traumatic vertebral collapse or in coexistent osteoarthritic disease in vertebral metastatic involvement. Interestingly, Tc-99m(V) DMSA showed increased concentration in brain and liver metastases. Pentavalent Tc-99m(V) DMSA appears useful for detecting skeletal and soft-tissue metastases in breast carcinoma, and can improve the specificity of Tc-99m MDP bone scans in screening for bone metastases.     

Dichotomy between Tc-99m MDP bone scan and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose coincidence detection positron emission tomography in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

The authors report two cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that were evaluated not only by conventional staging work-up but also additional Tc-99m MDP bone scans and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) coincidence detection (CoDe) positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging. There were discordant results between the Tc-99m MDP bone scans and F-18 FDG CoDe PET. In the first case, the bone marrow biopsy was positive, and F-18 FDG CoDe PET was consistent with a malignancy, but the findings of the Tc-99m MDP bone scintiscan were negative. In the second case, the bone marrow biopsy was negative, but F-18 FDG CoDe PET revealed focal skeletal involvement, which improved markedly on the follow-up study after chemotherapy. If skeletal involvement has a focal distribution and is confined to the marrow cavity, both bone marrow biopsy and bone scintigraphy can be falsely negative. In this situation, F-18 FDG PET is useful and revealing.     

Earlier detection of bone metastases from pleomorphic liposarcoma in a pediatric patient by FDG PET/CT than planar 99mTc MDP bone scan

Bone scintigraphy using (99m)TC MDP (technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate) is a routine procedure for evaluation of osteoblastic metastases; however, its sensitivity compared with FDG PET/CT in a variety of malignancies remains to be established. We report a case of multiple osseous metastases revealed by FDG PET/CT in an 8-year-old girl with pleomorphic liposarcoma. Many of these osseous lesions were not visualized on the MDP planar bone scintigraphy performed 24 hours after PET/CT scan, becoming evident only on repeat bone scan performed 3 months later. The case suggests that FDG PET/CT has higher sensitivity in detecting osteoblastic metastases in pleomorphic liposarcoma.     

Detection of multiple myeloma by PET/CT in a patient with colon cancer

A 76-year-old man with previous sigmoid colon resection for adenocarcinoma had low back pain for 2 months. Whole-body bone scintigraphy showed multiple focal Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP)-avid lesions in both rib cages and 3 lumbar vertebrae, indicating metastases. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed for further evaluation of this possible metastatic disease and demonstrated the lumbar and costal metastases and several hypermetabolic areas in the pelvic bones, multiple thoracic vertebrae, both shoulders, and the right femur. Histopathologic examination of the right-sided iliac crest, however, revealed multiple myeloma.
