本研究の目的は、dedicated breast PET(db-PET)が乳がんの診断に有効であるか調査することである。NEMA NU-4 2008ファントムを使用してdb-PETの画像再構成パラメータを最適化した。75名の乳がん症例において、全身用PET/CT装置によって得られたWB-PET画像とdb-PET画像を比較検討した。

db-PETの定量性および検出能は、WB-PETと比較して統計学的に有意に改善し、乳がんの診断能向上に有効であることが明らかとなった。

In breast cancer, the survival rate is related to the size of the lesion. Since the spatial resolution of whole-body (WB)-PET is limited, it is difficult to evaluate small cancerous lesions. To improve resolution, high-resolution dedicated breast PET (db-PET) scanners have been developed. However, the potential of db-PET has not yet been established, and there has been no report of the application of db-PET on an Oncovision device (MAMMI) in breast cancer cases in Japan.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of db-PET for assessing breast cancer. The influence of image reconstruction parameters was verified in a phantom evaluation, while we quantitatively investigated the ability of dB-PET to detect tumors, in comparison with WB-PET, with patients in the prone position, in a clinical evaluation. Despite a limited field of view in the vicinity of the chest wall, we show that db-PET has markedly better clinical value for diagnosing breast cancer as compared to WB-PET.

Key words: positron-emission tomography; 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose; dedicated breast PET; breast cancer; reconstruction parameter
