PET-CT检测卵巢癌复发的精确性更高

 
根据一项最新研究显示，正电子发射计算机辅助X线断层摄影术，与CT或者PET相比较，在检测复发卵巢癌的准确程度更高、更加精确。

在该研究中，Massachusetts总医院(Boston, MA, USA)的研究人员复习了54例CT、PET检查患者，和53例PET-CT扫描检查患者的资料。结果发现PET-CT的准确性(49/53, 92%)比CT  (44/53, 83%)和PET(41/53, 77%)更高。
 
PET-CT More Accurately Detects Ovarian Cancer Recurrence
 
The accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer is high, more accurate even than either CT or PET alone, according to a new study.

For the study, the researchers, from Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA, USA), reviewed 54 body CT, PET, and PET-CT scans on 53 patients with ovarian cancer who were being examined for tumor recurrence. The researchers discovered that PET-CT demonstrated an improved accuracy (49/53, 92%) over CT alone (44/53, 83%) and over PET alone (41/53, 77%).
