Diagnosis of Insufficiency Fracture After Radiotherapy in Patients With Cervical Cancer: Contribution of Technetium Tc 99m-Labeled Methylene Diphosphonate Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography

Conclusions Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography should be included in the differential diagnoses when lesions show elevated technetium Tc 99m–labeled methylene diphosphonate uptake on WBS. Compared with a WBS alone, a more accurate diagnosis of IF can be obtained using SPECT/CT, which resulted not only in fewer equivocal lesions but also in a higher diagnostic accuracy.
