Article Synopsis
- Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) provides high doses of radiation to vertebral metastases while protecting the spinal cord, and a new method using anti-CEA PET imaging enhances target volume determination for patients with metastatic breast or thyroid cancer.
- In a study involving eight patients, iPET was performed alongside MRI and PET-CT scans, identifying more vertebral lesions than traditional methods and affecting clinical target volume (CTV) delineation in 70% of cases.
- The findings suggest that iPET improves mapping of affected vertebral segments, offering valuable additional information for planning effective SBRT treatments in cases of metastatic vertebral disease.
