N/A We studied to investigate the predictive values of gated SPECT for the improvement of wall motion after bypass surgery. As we compared postoperative SPECT with preoperative ones, we defined viability as wall motion improvement. We performed rest T1-20l/stress Tc-99m-MIBI gated SPECT in 25 patients before and 3 months after bypass surgery. Myocardial wall motion was graded as normal, hypokinesia, a kinesia, and dyskinesia by pair-wise visual analysis of gated pre and postoperative SPECT's on the same monitor wall motion abnormalities before operation, 69 (75%) improved and 23 did not. Before operation, we could find segments with good systolic thickenining 64 segments among total 92. Thickening of the remaining 28 was poor. Wall motion improved postoperatively in 45 segments (70%) among 64 with good thickening, Twenty four(86%) among 28 segments with poor thickening had also improved. We grouped segments into mild(hypokinetic) and severe(akinetic/dyskinetic) ones. Among 33 segments with severe motion abnormalities, 14 had good thickening and 19 did not. Nine(60%) improved out of 14 segments having severe abnormality with good thickening. However, 16(84%) segments out of 19 having severe abnormality with poor thickening also improved. Neither degree of perfusion decrease nor severity of wall motion abnormalities could explain the high rate of false negatives. In conclusion, as we defined viability as wall motion improvement by comparing pre and postoperative SPECT, systolic thickening observed by gated Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT in myocardial segments with wall motion abnormalities predicted wall motion improvement after bypass surgery. However, poor thickening could not be referred as evidence of nonviable myocardium both in mild and severe contractile dysfunction, so that we might need stimulation study such as dobutamine echocardiography or dobutamine gated SPECT.

N/A he purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of whole body F-18 FDG PET scan for deceting postoperative recurrence of cancer. One hundred four cancer patients after operation were enrolled(l4 brain tumor, 15 head and neck cancer, 23 gynecologic cancer). Besides conventional images(CI) including CT and MRI, F-18 FDG PET scan was obtained on ECAT EXACT 47 scanner(Siemens-CTI), beginning 60 minutes after injection of 370MBq(10mCi) of F-18 FDG. Regional scan was also obtained with emission image. Transmission images using Ge-68 were carried out for attenuation correction in both whole body and regional images. Findings of PET and CI were confirmed by pathology or clinical follow up. The sensitivity and specificity of PET for detecting recurrence were 94% and 92%, respectively. Contrarily, the sensitivity and specific it of CI were 78% and 68% CI results were negative and PET results were positive in 11 cases. The biopsy or clinical follow-up of those cases confirmed recurrence of tumor. False negative cases of CI were frequent in patients with gynecologic cancers. Also we measured the Serum concentration of tumor markers in patients with gynecologic cancer(CA125), thyroid cancer(thyroglobulin), and colorectal cancer(CEA). The sensitivity and specificity of tumor markers were 71% and 84%, respectively. We conclude that F-18 FDG PET can be used valuably in detecting recurrent foci of a wide variety of malignancy compared to conventional diagnositic methods.

목적: 특발성 폐섬유증(Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: IPF)에서 폐암의 발생빈도가 정상인에 비하여 증가되어 있음이 알려져 있다. IPF 환자의 흉부전산화단층촬영(chest CT)에서 폐 결절이 관찰되는 경우 폐암의 발생과 자체 IPF자체의 결절을 감별하기 어렵다. 이 연구에서는 IPF 환자의 chest CT에서 관찰된 결절의 악성 여부를 FDG PET을 이용해 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: IPF로 진단된 환자 중, chest CT에서 악성 결절이 의심되어 FDG PET을 시행한 16명을 대상으로 하였다. 총 16명 (남: 14, 여: 2, 나이: 67.53±9.83세)의 환자에서 관찰된 28개의 결절에 대하여 FDG PET과 CT소견을 분석하였다. 대상 환자 중 2명은 소세포암과 성문하암으로 치료 받은 병력이 있었으며, 나머지 환자는 악성종양의 기왕력이 없었다. 결절의 악성도 여부는 조직검사와 CT 추적검사로 판정하였다. 결과: 10개의 결절은 폐암으로 진단되었고, 18개의 결절은 양성 결절로 판정되었다(조직병리검사: 6예, chest CT 추적검사: 22예). FDG PET의 예민도는 100%이었으며 특이도는 94.4%이었다. 크기와 형태 및 크기 변화 등을 참고한 CT의 예민도는 70%이었고, 특이도는 44.4%이었다. 악성 결절의 maxSUV는 7.68±3.96, 양성 결절은 1.22±0.65이었다(p<0.001). 폐섬유증부위에서 측정한 maxSUV는 1.80±0.43로써 악성 결절보다 낮은 값이었으며, 양성 결절보다는 높은 값이었다(p<0.001; p<0.001). CT에서 측정한 악성 결절의 크기는 23.95±10.15 mm, 양성결절은 10.83±5.23 mm이었다(p<0.02). 결론: FDG PET은 IPF 환자의 CT에서 발견된 폐 결절을 감별하는데 도움이 되었다. Purpose: Incidence of lung cancer in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is known to be higher than that in general population. However, it is difficult to discriminate pulmonary nodule in patients with IPF, because underlying IPF can be expressed as lung nodules. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of FDG PET in discriminating lung nodule in patients with IPF. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 28 lung nodules in 16 subjects (age; 67.53±9.83, M:F=14:2). Two patients had previous history of malignant cancer (small cell lung cancer and subglottic cancer). The diagnostic criteria on chest CT were size, morphology and serial changes of size. FDG PET was visually interpreted, and maximal SUV was calculated for quantitative analysis. Results: From 28 nodules, 18 nodules were interpreted as benign nodules, 10 nodules as malignant nodules by histopahthology or follow-up chest CT. The sensitivity and specificity of FDG PET were 100% and 94.4%, while those of CT were 70.0% and 44.4%, respectively. Malignant nodule was higher maxSUV than that of benign lung nodules (7.68±3.96 vs. 1.22±0.65, p<0.001). Inflammatory lesion in underlying IPF was significantly lower maxSUV than that of malignant nodules (1.80±0.43, p<0.001). The size of malignant and benign nodule were 23.95±10.15 mm and 10.83 ±5.23 mm (p<0.01). Conclusion: FDG PET showed superior diagnostic performance to chest CT in differentiating lung nodules in patients with underlying IPF. FDG PET could be used to evaluate suspicious malignant lung nodule detected by chest in patients with IPF. (Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2006;40(3):163-168)

N/A Objectives: It is suggested that frequency of low turnover bone disease is much higher in diabetic renal osteodystrophy. We tried to find out whether bone scan images show less 99mTc-MDP uptake in diabetic renal ostwdystrophy. Methods: We compared bone scan images of renal failure patients with and without diabetes. The number of patients studied was 134 (43 patients had diabetes and 91 patients did not). Two experienced nuclear physicians read Tc-99m-MDP bone scan twice separately and gave the score either 1 or 0 on 6 areas; axial skeleton, long bone, skull & mandible, periarticular areas, costochondral junction and sternum. The means of summed scores were compared using Students t-test. To exclude the effects of sex, age and serum creatinine concentration, we analysed these factors together with the effect of diabetes using analysis of covariance. We also interpreted on bone scan images, as classical renal osteodystrophy, renal failure and normal. Results: The intra- and interobserver variations were very low. Patients of diabetes group showed significantly lower mean of summed score(2.0±0.95) compared to patients of non-DM group(3.3±1.2). Analysis of covariance revealed that lower score of diabetes group was independent of sex, age and serum creatinine level. of diabetes group, 2 nuclear physicians interpreted bone scans as classical renal osteodystrophy in 60% and 56%, However, they interpreted bone scans of non-DM group in 80%, 88%(between-observer k: 0.74). Chi-square test showed that this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Bone scan image of diabetic renal osteodystrophy showed less 99mTc-MDP uptake, which meant low osteoblastic activity. This influence of diabetes upon bone uptake was significant after considering other confounding factors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Tc-99m labeled antigranulocyte antibody immunoscintigrapy in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis and compare with the results of triphasic bone scan. Materials and Methods: The study popula- tion was 39 patients (22 male, 17 female) who had uncertain diagnoses of osteomyelitis. Fifteen patients had history of orthopedic surgery, and 5 had previous fracture. One milligram of monoclonal antibody against NCA-95 was labeled with 370 MBq of Tc-99m, injected intravenously, and 4 hour images were obtained. Triphasic bone scan images were obtained in 30 p;tients. The final diagnosis was confirmed by bacteriologic culture, biopsy or long term clinical follow up. Results: Twenty one patients were confirmed to have osteomyelitis (1 acute, 20 chronic). Eighteen patients were without osteomyelitis. Antigranulocyte antibody immunoscintigraphy had a sensitivity of 71% (15/21), and a specificity of 89% (16/18), while the sensitivity and specificity of triphasic bone scan was 93% (13/14) and 38% (6/16), respectively. Antigranulocyte antibody scan showed higher specificity of 100% (11/11) in comparison with 33% (3/9) of triphasic bone scan in patients with history of orthopedic surgery or fracture. Conclusion: Antigranulocyte antibody immunoscintigraphy is more specific than that of triphasic bone scan and may be helpful in patients with history of surgery or fracture. However, sensitivity is lower than triphasic bone scan in the detection of chronic osteomyelitis. (Korean J Nucl Med 1998;32:344-53)

이명철,임석태,이동수,강원준,정준기 대한핵의학회 1999 핵의학 분자영상 Vol.33 No.3

Purpose: We investigated whether myocardial SPECT had additional usefulness to clinical, functional or surgical indices for the preoperative evaluation of cardiac risks in noncardiac surgery. Materials and Methods: 118 patients (M: F=66:52, 62.7±10.5 years) were studied retrospectively. Eighteen underwent vascular surgeries and 100 nonvascular surgeries. Rest T1-201/stress Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT was performed before operation and cardiac events (hard event: cardiac death and myocardial infarction; soft event: ischemic ECG change, congestive heart failure and unstable angina) were surveyed through perioperative periods (14.6±5.6 days). Clinical risk indices, functional capacity, surgery procedures and SPECT findings were tested for their predictive values of perioperative cardiac events. Results: Peri-operative cardiac events occurred in 25 patients (3 hard events and 22 soft events). Clinical risk indices, surgical procedure risks and SPECT findings but functional capacity were predictive of cardiac events. Reveible perfusion decrease was a better predictor than persistent decrease. Multivariate analysis sorted` out surgical procedure risk (p=0.0018) and SPECT findings (p=0.0001) as significant risk factors. SPECT could re-stratify perioperative cardiac risks in patients ranked with surgical procedures. Conclusion: We conclude that myocardial SPECT provides additional predictive value to surgical type risks as well as clinical indexes or functional capacity for the prediction of preoperative cardiac events in noncardiac surgery.

Purpose: Dipyridamole stress myocardial perfusion SPECT could predict prognosis, however, long-term follow-up showed change of hazard ratio in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. We investigated how long normal SPECT could predict the benign prognosis on the long-term follow-up. Materials and Methods: We followed up 1169 patients and divided these patients into groups in whom coronary angiography were performed and were not. Total cardiac event rate and hard event rate were predicted using clinical, angiographic and SPECT findings. Predictive values of normal and abnormal SPECT were examined using survival analysis with Mantel-Haenszel method, multivariate Cox proportional hazard model analysis and newly developed statistical method to test time-invariance of hazard rate and changing point of this rate. Results: Reversible perfusion decrease on myocardial perfusion SPECT predicted higher total cardiac event rate independently and further to angiographic findings. However, myocardial SPECT showed independent but not incremental prognostic values for hard event rate. Hazard ratio of normal perfusion SPECT was changed significantly (p<0.001) and the changing point of hazard rate was 4.4 years of follow up. However, the ratio of abnormal SPECT was not. Conclusion: Dipyridamole stress myocardial perfusion SPECT provided independent prognostic information in patients with known and suspected coronary artery disease. Normal perfusion SPECT predicted least event rate for 4.4 years. (Korean J Nucl Med 2000;34:39-54)

배현주,우준희,고창순,오명돈,이명철,김양수,정문현,최강원 대한감염학회 1990 감염 Vol.22 No.2

Gallium citrate scans were performed in 20 patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis to evaluate the diagnostic potonitial of this test. The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis were confirmed by biopsy and culture in 17 cases and other indirect methods in 3. There were 12 patients with lymphadenopathy, 3 with peritonitis, 2 with intestinal the 1 with renal, spinal and miliary dissemination respectively. Postitive gallium citrate scintigraphy were obtained in 90% of patients. False negative results were obtained in one patient with tuberculosis of mediastrinal lymph node and another patient with renal tuberculosis. We conclude that 67-Ga citrate scintigraphy is useful screening test for the detection of extrapulmonary focus of tuberculosis, thus can be a useful adjunct test for the study of fever of unknown origin.

목적: 오류발견을 조절법을 PET 영상분석에 이용하면 다중비교에 따르는 위양성율을 줄이면서 동시에 검정력을 높일 수 있다. 조기 알츠하이며 치매 환자에서 오류발견율 조절법을 적용하였을 때와 비보정역치, 무작위 가우스장 보정역치를 적용하였을 때 FDG PET에 나타난 포도당 대사 감소영역이 어떻게 달라지는지 조사하였다. 방법: 28명의 평균 66세(±7)인 조기 알츠하이머성 치매 환자와 연령을 맞춘 18명의 정상인(68±6세)의 FDG PET 영상을 SPM99 소프트웨어로 분석하였다. 환자군과 정상군의 차이와 각 환자와 정상군의 차이를 각각 비보정 역치 p 값 0.001, 무작위장 보정 역치 p값 0.001, 오류발견율 조절법에 의한 오류발견율 0.001일 때을 정하여 이 세 통계적 역치에서 각각 뇌 포도당 대사감소 영역을 결정하였다. 결과: 집단 분석결과 비보정 역치를 사용하였을 때 가장 넓은 영역에서, 보정역치를 사용하였을 때 가장 넓은 영역에서, 보정역치를 사용하였을 때 가장 좁은 영역에서, 오류발견율 조절법을 적용하였을 때 중간크기의 영역에 대사가 감소하였다. 개인분석결과 비보정 역치 경우 발견되 대사감소 화소보다 오류발견율 조절시 많은 화소가 나타난 경우(8/28, 29%)와 보정 역치 경우와 오류발견율 조절시에는 대사감소 부위가 나타나지 않고 비보정 역치 경우에만 넓은 부위에 대사감소부위가 나타난 경우(6/28, 21%), 그리고 보정역치보다 오류발견율 조절시에 훨씬 많은 화소가 이상부위로 나타나서 비보정역치 경우에 근접하는 넓이를 찾을 수 있는 경우(14/28 50%)이었다. 결로: 조기 알츠하이머 치매 환자의 FDG PET을 오류발견율 조절법으로 분석한 결과 집단분석이나 개인분석 모두 대사감소부위를 잘 찾을 수 있었다. 집단의 크기가 작은 환자의 집단분석이나 특히 개인분석의 경우 오류발견율 조절법을 이용하여 FDG PET을 분석하는 것이 좋을 것이라 제안한다. Purpose: Determining an appropriate thresholding is crucial for PDG PET analysis since strong control of Type I error could fail to find pathological differences between eariy Alzheimer' disease(AD) patients and healthy normal controls. We compared the SPM results on FDG PET maging of early AD using uncorrected p-value, random-field based corrected p-value and false discovery rate (FDR) control. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight patients (66±7 years old) with early AD and 18 age-matched normal controls (68±6 years old) underwent FDG brain PET. To identify brain regions with hypo-metabolism in group or individual patient compared to normal controls, group images or each patient's image was compared with normal controls usingthe same fixed p-value of 0.001 on uncorrected thresholding, random-field based corrected thresholding and FDR control. Results: The number of hypo-metabolic voxels was smallest in corrected p-value method, largest in uncorrected p-value method and intermediate in FDG thresholding in group analysis. Three types of result pattern were found. The first was that corrected p-value did not yield any voxel positive but FDR gave a few significantly hypometabolic voxels (8/28, 29%). The second was that both corrected p-value and FDR did not yield any positive region but numerous positive voxels were found with the threshold of uncorrected p-values (6/28, 21%). The last was that FDR was detected as many positive voxels as uncorrected p-value method (14/28, 50%). Conclusions FDR control could identify hypo-metabolic areas in group or individual patients with early AD. We recommend FDR control instead of uncorrected or random-field corrected thresholding method to find the areas showing hypometabolism especially in small group or individual analysis of FDG PET.
