“…The quality of molecular images depends on a combination of multiple factors, including patient preparation, technologist training, imaging protocol design, scanner technology, software algorithms, and data analysis methods. Several guidelines are available that provide recommendations on imaging procedures for 18 F-FDG (1,2), as well as for other PET radiotracers (3,4). Practice guidelines for certain functional MRI procedures have also been suggested by the American College of Radiology (5).…”

“…16,17 Apresenta elevada especificidade porque a CT da PET/CT, ao caracterizar morfologicamente as alterações funcionais, contribui para a diferenciação entre lesões benignas e metástases ósseas. 10 Permite, assim, otimizar o estadiamento, selecionar a melhor estraté-gia terapêutica na altura mais adequada 18 e é mais eficaz na avaliação da resposta ao tratamento instituído, 19 tendo superior impacto na abordagem dos doentes oncológicos com metástases ósseas. 20,21 Na nossa experiência, a PET/CT com FNa-F18 também apresentou maior capacidade de deteção que a CO (em 49% dos casos) e fê-lo de um modo mais assertivo, necessitando de exames complementares para melhor esclarecimento num número muito menor de doentes (3,5% vs 45%).…”

“…Second, although the sensitivity of 18 F-fluoride PET is high for osteoblastic lesions, its low specificity is an important concern. As pointed out in the Society of Nuclear Medicine practice guidelines, the degree of 18 F-fluoride uptake itself cannot differentiate benign from malignant lesions [31]. It has to be noted that neither 18 F-FDG nor 18 F-fluoride is specific, but when bone lesions are considered, the lack of specificity is a more problematic issue for the latter.…”
