Abstract

Objective To study and compare the effects of CT and emission computed tomography (ECT) in the diagnosis of bone metastases. Methods A total of 100 cases of patients with malignant tumors from December 2015 to December 2017 were selected. All patients were given CT and ECT examinations. The efficacy of two detection methods was counted in diagnosing bone metastases, including accuracy, specificity and sensitivity. The detection rate of the two detection methods were counted in detecting different malignant tumors. The accuracy of the two detection methods in judging different lesions sites was statistically determined. Results The accuracy of ECT was higher than that of CT in the diagnosis of bone metastases (P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of ECT in the diagnosis of bone metastases were higher than those of CT (P>0.05). The detection rate of different malignant tumors by ECT was higher than that by CT (P>0.05). The accuracy of judging different lesions sites by ECT was higher than that by CT (P>0.05 ). Conclusion ECT has higher accuracy than CT in the diagnosis of bone metastases.
