Abstract

Objective To compare radionuclide bone scan and MRI for vertebral metastasis detection fromlung cancer tumor.Methods 45 cases with lung cancer were collected for radionuclide bone scan and MRI scan,the scanning time within 15 days.Three deputy directors read the piece,the detection rate of two kinds of examination methods was compared.Results 35 cases were detected by radionuclide bone scan and MRI (x2 =0.135,P >0.05).It was detected 84 positive bone metastases vertebral,detected in 45 of radionuclide bone scan,MRI detected73,the difference was significant (x2 =15.300,P < 0.05).Conclusion MRI can effectively detect lung cancer spine bone vertebral metastasis loci without false positive lesions,which contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of disease,worthy of clinical promotion. Key words: Radionuclide bone scan; Magnetic resonance imaging; Neoplasm metastasis
