Effectiveness of Tl-201 SPECT compared with Ga-67 SPECT in patients with primary lung cancer
Description
Findings of planar and single photon emission CT (SPECT) using Ga-67 and T1-201 were compared with pathologic findings after thoracotomy in 21 patients with proved primary lung cancer. The sensitivity of primary lesion accumulation was 47% with Ga-67 SPECT, and 100% with T1-201. For detection of hilar nodal involvement, T1-201 SPECT showed a sensitivity and a specificity of 100%. In mediastinal staging, T1-201 SPECT had 100% sensitivity and 80% specificity. These values were higher than those for Ga-67. For evaluation of the primary lesion and lymph node metastases, T1-201 SPECT proved superior to T1-201 planar, Ga-67 planar, and Ga-67 SPECT
