Abstract
Purpose: To demonstrate a clinical case of metastatic lesions of the bones, which clearly reflects the difference in the sensitivity of diagnostic methods SPECT/CT and MRI.
Material and methods: A 69-year-old female patient with poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma, which underwent WBS, SPECT/CT and MRI.
Results: MRI revealed several metastases that were not reflected on SPECT/CT examination.
Conclusion: Despite the high sensitivity and specificity of SPECT/CT, in some cases additional diagnostic methods are required. MRI allows to clarify and, possibly, detect previously undetected metastases.
