Clinical impact of targeted single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) bone scintigraphy on the assessment of bone metastasis in cancer patients

Conclusions SPECT/CT bone scintigraphy afforded a significant reduction of the number of patients with equivocal findings who needed further evaluation with other imaging modalities, preventing unnecessary delays in diagnosis and potential changes in disease staging and treatment planning. Moreover, SPECT/CT bone scintigraphy slightly increased diagnostic sensitivity.
