Abstract
Purpose: In FDG-PET/CT of breast cancer, a sensitivity was 80~96% and a specificity was 75~95% commonly. It was valuable to identify a cancer in early stage been difficult in Mammography. Most of the PET/CT scans have been examined on supine position, so, the image of breast has been acquired by reconstructed whole body scan image. However, using prone position with a compensator, a shape of breast was reassembly shown to be real by gravity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate diagnostic value of prone position in FDG PET-CT of breast cancer. Materials and Methods: 30 female patients with doubtful or positive breast cancer were examined. The PET-CT whole body scan was acquired at 60 minutes after
유방암은 FDG PET-CT에서 예민도는 80~96%, 특이도는 75~95% 정도이며, 유방촬영(mammography) 소견상 판단이 어려운 수진자에게 매우 유용하며, 검진으로서의 조기 암 검출을 충분히 기대할 수 있다. PET-CT에서 대부분의 검사는 앙와위(supine position)으로 검사되어 전신검사(whole body scan)에서 원형으로부터 변형된 유방영상을 획득된다. 반면에 보정구를 이용하여 복와위(prone position)으로 영상을 획득할 경우, 유방을 중력에 의존하여 보다 원형에 가깝게 표현함으로써 영상의 진단가치를 높일 수 있기에 그 유용성을 평가하였다. 유방암으로 의심되거나 확진 된 여성 환자 30명을 대상으로 하였으며,
