RESUMO

Purpose: To determine the agreement between the PSMA-RADS and E-PSMA standardized reporting systems in the classification of [18F]PSMA-1007-uptaking lesions identified on PET/CT scan in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and post-prostatectomy with suspected recurrent disease (local recurrence, regional nodal involvement and distant metastases), based on biochemical recurrence, while also exploring the correlation between lesion size and tracer uptake. Materials and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 32 post-prostatectomy PCa patients who had suspected recurrent disease based on biochemical recurrence post-prostatectomy (prostate-specific antigen values that are 0.2 ng/mL or higher) underwent [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT scan. The recurrent disease PCa lesions were characterized and subsequently classified using two standardized reporting systems (PSMA-RADS and E-PSMA). The lesions were grouped based on anatomical site, their size and SUVmax were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc tests. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated between the size of the lesions and their SUVmax of the radiotracer [18F]PSMA-1007 for all the lesions and when grouped by anatomical site. Additionally, the agreement between lesion classifications was assessed using Cohen's kappa index. Results: Only 32 (69.98 ± 8.27, men) patients met the inclusion criteria, a total of 149 lesions with avid uptake of [18F]PSMA-1007 were identified. Positive correlation (r = 0.516, p < 0.001) was observed between the size of the metastatic prostate cancer lymph node lesions and their [18F]PSMA-1007 uptake. Substantial agreement was noted between the PSMA-RADS and E-PSMA classification system scores among all lesions (κ = 0.70, p < 0.001), with notable discrepancies primarily among lymph node lesions. Conclusion: Our findings revealed a positive correlation between the size of the metastatic prostate cancer lymph node lesions and [18F]PSMA-1007 uptake, and although there was substantial agreement between the PSMA-RADS and E-PSMA classification systems, there were discrepancies mainly among the lymph node lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Multidetector computer tomography (CT) has been used to diagnose pathologies such as osteoporosis via opportunistic screening, where the assessment of the bone structure and the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) are of great relevance. PURPOSE: To construct reference BMD values based on the measurement of the attenuation of the L1 vertebral body by multidetector CT scan (in the soft tissue and bone windows) in adult patients and to establish normative ranges by sex and age of BMD values. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 5080 patients who underwent multidetector CT scan between January and December 2021. Adult patients (≥18 years) with non-contrast multidetector CT scan of the abdomen or thorax-abdomen at a voltage 120 kV. The attenuation of the L1 vertebral body in Hounsfield units (HU) in both windows were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test with α = 0.05. Additionally, the quartiles of the BMD were constructed (in both windows) grouped by sex and age. RESULTS: Only 454 (51.30 ± 15.89 years, 243 women) patients met the inclusion criteria. There is no difference in BMD values between windows (soft tissue: 163.90 ± 57.13, bone: 161.86 ± 55.80, p = 0.625), mean L1 attenuation decreased linearly with age at a rate of 2 HU per year, and the presence of BMD deficit among patients was high; 152 of 454 (33.48%) patients presented BMD values suggestive of osteoporosis, and of these, approximately half 70 of 454 (15.42%) corresponded to patients with BMD values suggestive of a high risk of osteoporotic fracture. CONCLUSIONS: From clinical practice, the bone mineral density (BMD) of a patient in either window below the first quartile for age- and sex-matched peers suggests a deficit in BMD that cannot be ignored and requires clinical management that enables identification of the etiology, its evolution, and the consequences of this alteration.
