    • Background: Bone Scan Index (BSI) derived from 2D whole-body bone scans is considered an imaging biomarker of bone metastases burden carrying prognostic information. Sodium fluoride (NaF) PET/CT is more sensitive than bone scan in detecting bone changes due to metastases. We aimed to develop a semi-quantitative PET index similar to the BSI for NaF PET/CT imaging and to study its relationship to BSI and overall survival in patients with prostate cancer.Methods: NaF PET/CT and bone scans were analyzed in 48 patients (aged 53-92 years) with prostate cancer. Thoracic and lumbar spines, sacrum, pelvis, ribs, scapulae, clavicles, and sternum were automatically segmented from the CT images, representing approximately 1/3 of the total skeletal volume. Hotspots in the PET images, within the segmented parts in the CT images, were visually classified and hotspots interpreted as metastases were included in the analysis. The PET index was defined as the quotient obtained as the hotspot volume from the PET images divided by the segmented bone tissue volume from the CT images. BSI was automatically calculated using EXINIboneBSI.Results: The correlation between the PET index and BSI was r2= 0.54. The median BSI was 0.39 (IQR 0.08-2.05). The patients with a BSI ≥ 0.39 had a significantly shorter median survival time than patients with a BSI < 0.39 (2.3 years vs. not reached after 5 years). BSI was significantly associated with overall survival (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.41; p < 0.001), and the C-index was 0.68. The median PET index was 0.53 (IQR 0.02-2.62). The patients with a PET index ≥ 0.53 had a significantly shorter median survival time than patients with a PET index < 0.53 (2.5 years vs. not reached after 5 years). The PET index was significantly associated with overall survival (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.30; p < 0.001) and C-index was 0.68.Conclusions: PET index based on NaF PET/CT images was correlated to BSI and significantly associated with overall survival in patients with prostate cancer. Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical value of this novel 3D PET index as a possible future imaging biomarker.

  • Deep learning-based evaluation of normal bone marrow activity in 18F-NaF PET/CT in patients with prostate cancer
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Insights into Imaging. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1869-4101. ; 11:Suppl. 1, s. 349-350

    • Purpose: Bone marrow is the primary site of skeletal metastases in prostate cancer. 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF) can be used to detect malignant activity, but also identifies irrelevant degenerative cortical uptake. Normal radiotracer activity in solely the marrow has yet to be described and could be a first step towards automated tumor burden calculation as SUV thresholds. We aimed to investigate normal activity of 18F-NaF in whole bone and bone marrow in patients with localized prostate cancer.Methods and materials: 18F-NaF PET/CT scans from 87 patients with high-risk prostate cancer from two centers were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had a recent negative or inconclusive bone scan. In the first center, PET scan was acquired 1-1.5 hours after i.v. injection of 4 MBq/kg 18F-NaF on an integrated PET/CT system (Gemini TF, Philips Medical Systems) (53/87). In the second center, scanning was performed 1 hour after i.v. injection of 3 MBq/kg 18F-NaF on an integrated PET/CT system (Discovery ST, GE Healthcare) (34/87). CT scans were obtained in immediate connection to the PET scan. Automated segmentations of vertebrae, pelvis, femora, humeri and sternum were performed in the CT scans using a deep learning-based method. Bone <7 mm from skeletal surfaces was removed to isolate the marrow. SUV was measured within the remaining area in the PET scan.Results: SUVmax and SUVmean in the whole bone and bone marrow of the different regions were presented.Conclusion: We present a deep-learning approach for evaluation of normal radiotracer activity in whole bone and bone marrow. Knowledge about radiotracer uptake in the normal bone prior to cancerous involvement is a necessary first step for subsequent tumor assessment and could be of value in the implementation of future tracers.
