SPECT coincidence imaging was performed on a dual-head gamma camera (DST-XLi
SMV) to allow the detection of 511keV gamma emission of
18
FDG positron radionuclides.
18
FDG was provided by Shanghai Institute of Nuclear Research. All the patients with lung lesions on X-ray film have not yet confirmed in diagnosis underwent
18
FDG imaging. Patients fasted 4 hours before administration of
18
FDG and kept rest from 1-2 hours after intravenous administration of 37-111MBq
18
FDG. Images were reconstructed by lterative reconstruction. Draw ROI on lesion area (L) and control area (C). The L/C ratio larger than 1.3
it was considered positive. Of total 39 cases
the sensitivity
specificity and accuracy was 93%(25/27)
83%(10/12) and was 90%(35/39) respectively
for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Therefore coincidence imaging of
18
FDG-SPECT is a suitable and reliable new technology for the diagnosis of lung cancer.
