Analysis of the application value of SUV in quantitative SPECT/CT for diagnosing benign and malignant bone lesions.

Objective: To analyze the application value of standardized uptake value (SUV) in quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) based on the maximum expectation reconstruction algorithm for diagnosing benign and malignant bone lesions.

Subjects And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 83 patients suspected of bone metastasis who underwent quantitative SPECT/CT bone scans in our hospital from September 2023 to July 2024. A total of 91 high-metabolic bone lesions were outlined for SUV measurement, while the spinal SUV of patients with normal bone metabolism were outlined as the control group (46 vertebral bodies).
