Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy in patients with lung cancer comparison with CT and fluorine-18 FDG PET imaging
Tc-99m MIBI imaging has been used to evaluate patients with different neoplastic disorders, but its role in nuclear oncology has not been definitely established. In this study, we compared the results of Tc-99m MIBI (planar and SPECT imaging) with those of F-18 FDG PET radionuclide studies in 19 patients who had proven lung cancer. One patient was studied in follow- up. All patients underwent chest CT scans. MIBI and FDG images were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using region of interest analysis. Quantitative evaluation of MIBI and FOG activities in lung-tumor lesions was performed calculating tumor/nontumor ratios. On CT, 18 lung tumors were detected, while one patient was disease free. For lung lesions, the diagnostic sensitivity of planar MIBI imaging was 83%, while those of MIBI SPECT and FDG PET were both 100%. The quantitative analysis of lung-tumor MIBI and FDG activities showed that FDG uptake was significantly (P
