Clinical value study of emission computed tomography whole-body bone imaging in the early diagnosis of bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer
Objective To analyze the effect of emission computed tomography(ECT)whole-body bone imaging in early diagnosis of bone metastasis in patients with prostate cancer.Methods A total of 51 patients with prostate cancer bone metastasis admitted to the First Hospital of Qiqihar City from May 2021 to July 2023 were selected as the research subjects,and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer bone metastasis through surgical pathology and bone biopsy.ECT whole-body bone imaging was performed in all patients and the examination results were analyzed.Results The bone biopsy results showed that among the 51 patients with bone metastasis,43 cases had spinal metastasis,40 cases had rib metastasis,32 cases had chest metastasis,30 cases had pelvic metastasis,5 cases had skull metastasis,and 29 cases had limb metastasis.The detection rate of ECT bone metastasis was 96.08%(49/51),and there was not statistically significant difference compared with bone biopsy results(P>0.05).Conclusions The results of applying ECT whole-body bone imaging in detecting bone metastasis in patients with prostate cancer are similar to bone biopsy results,and ECT whole-body bone imaging has a higher diagnostic accuracy.
