Pilot prospective evaluation of 99mTc-MDP scintigraphy, 18F NaF PET/CT, 18F FDG PET/CT and whole-body MRI for detection of skeletal metastases.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Resistance to chemotherapy poses a major problem in cancer patients. Although of multifactorial origin, some of the implicated mechanisms also interfere with (99m)Tc-MIBI uptake and retention in cancer cells. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prognostic value of baseline (99m)Tc-MIBI imag...
