Abstract:
PURPOSE:In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the value of FDG-PET/CT in the diagnosis of spondylodiscitis (SD), the significance of dual time point imaging (DTPI) for SD diagnosis and the worth of SUVmax data for distinguishing tuberculous vs. non-tuberculous SD. MATERIALS AND METHODS:32 patients with suspected SD were scanned with FDG-PET/CT. For quantitative analysis maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the lesion area was measured. Nineteen patients had DTPI of FDG-PET/CT. The final diagnoses were achieved by histopathological, microbiological, and clinical results. RESULTS:Specific pathogens were isolated in 21 patients; other patients were accepted as nonspecific bacterial SD. In all patients, FDG-PET/CT results were compatible with SD diagnosis. The SUVmax data for tuberculous and non-tuberculous SD and DTPI results were statistically insignificant. CONCLUSION:FDG-PET/CT is a successful modality for SD diagnosis; additionally, DTPI protocol for FDG-PET/CT in SD diagnosis and SUVmax data for differentiation between non-tbc SD and tbc SD are useless.
