Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the detectability rate of bone metastases in breast cancer patients using whole-body single-photon emission computed tomography (WB-SPECT) performed with a half-time acquisition algorithm with that of planar ± selected field-of-view SPECT [standard bone scintigraphy (BS)].
Materials And Methods: Ninety-two consecutive breast cancer patients (age range 35-74 years) underwent planar BS followed by WB-SPECT (acquisition time 28 min). Clinical and imaging follow-up data from BS, 18F-FDG-PET/CT and CT were used as composite reference standards.
