 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 18F-FDG SPECT imaging in the detection of primary tumor clinical value [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the 18F-FDG SPECT imaging in the detection of primary tumor and its clinical application. Methods for clinical diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma of uncertain primary tumors, but patients were 14 cases of 18F-FDG SPECT imaging to degree of 18F-FDG uptake as a criterion detect suspicious abnormalities of primary tumor, combined with pathology, diagnostic imaging methods and followed up to confirm this. Results 18F-FDG dual-head coincidence imaging in the detection of primary tumors was 50% (7 / 14). the primary tumor site and normal tissue radioactivity ratio (T / N) were between 2.5 and 5.5. Conclusions 18F-FDG dual-head coincidence imaging is to look for metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary tumor of a useful approach. [Keywords:] unknown primary tumor; tumor metastasis; deoxyglucose Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of 18F-FDG coincidence SPECT in detecting primary tumors.Methods 18F-FDG coincidence SPECT was performed on 14 patients with unknown primary tumors, the degree of 18F-FDG uptake on diseased region was regarded as abnormal criterion.Results The detection rate of 18F-FDG coincidence SPECT for primary tumors was 50% (7 / 14). The radioactivity ratio of primary tumors and normal tissue was between 2.5 ~ 5.5.Conclusions 18F-FDG coincidence SPECT is an effective method for primary tumor detection. Keywords:: unknown primary tumors; tumor metastasis; tumor metastasis Clinically, about 3% to 5% of the cancer patients the primary tumor is not clear. Such patients are usually spread by transfer of the main performance, and relatively occult primary tumor, diagnosis is difficult. As the primary tumor is unknown, is not conducive to clinical effective treatment. Therefore, in a short time to take effective method to clear the primary tumor location and tumor sources will help to formulate a
