[18F]FDG PET/CT versus Bone Scintigraphy for the Diagnosis of Bone Metastasis in Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The findings suggest that [18F]FDG PET/CT offers superior diagnostic accuracy compared to bone scintigraphy for detecting bone metastases in breast cancer patients. However, its clinical application requires further validation through large-scale, prospective studies. Additionally, considerations such as cost-effectiveness and accessibility must be addressed before widespread clinical adoption.
