⁶⁸Gallium-Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic Acid and ¹⁸F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma of the Skull / 대한핵의학회잡지

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 32 year-old male with Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma of the skull, which was imaged with both ¹⁸[F]fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and ⁶⁸Gallium-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (⁶⁸Ga-RGD) PET/CT. The ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT did not demonstrate the tumour,whereas the ⁶⁸Ga-RGD PET/CT clearly depicted a left-sided frontal tumour. ⁶⁸Ga-RGD PET/CT may be a clinically useful imaging modality for early detection of recurrent osteosarcoma, considering the limitations of ¹⁸F-FDG PET in a setting of low glycolytic activity.
