Whole body bone SPET/CT can successfully replace the conventional bone scan in breast cancer patients. A prospective study of 257 patients.
CONCLUSION: Whole-body bone SPET/CT scan outperformed WBS in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive value and impacted on patient management. Therefore, its use is recommended as a routine procedure in BC patients, even after a negative WBS.
