Skeletal standardized uptake values obtained by quantitative SPECT/CT as an osteoblastic biomarker for the discrimination of active bone metastasis in prostate cancer

Abstract Purpose To investigate the improvement of prognostication of active bone metastatic burden by discriminating bone metastases from degenerative changes in hot foci, using skeletal standardized uptake values (SUVs) by quantitative bone single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SP...
