Differential diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in osteolytic lesions

摘要

Both bone metastases and multiple myeloma (MM) are malignant diseases that can appear osteolytic on imaging and are difficult to differentiate. While positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been demonstrated useful for the diagnosis of various bone lesions, correlations between PET/CT and histopathology and these diseases are unclear. This retrospective study investigated the optimal cutoff standardized uptake value (SUV) to differentiate MM and bone metastasis.
