Abstract

Purpose

This meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and diagnostic value of [18F]FDG PET/MRI for mediastinal lymph node staging of NSCLC.

Methods

Relevant articles in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched until January 2023. Research evaluating [18F]FDG PET/MRI for mediastinal lymph node staging of NSCLC was included. Pooled estimates of sensitivity, specificity, PLR, and NLR were calculated by the "Stata" software.

Results

Nine researches were included, containing 618 patients. The pooled sensitivity of [18F]FDG PET/MRI for detecting mediastinal lymph node staging of NSCLC was 0.82 (0.70–0.90), and the pooled specificity was 0.88 (0.82–0.93). PLR and NLR were 7.38 (4.73–11.52) and 0.20 (0.11–0.36), respectively. The AUC value of this imaging modality was 0.92 (0.90–0.94). The post-test probability for [18F]FDG PET/MRI might rise to 88% when the pre-test probability was set at 50%.

Conclusions

We considered [18F]FDG PET/MRI as an effective imaging tool with relatively high specificity and sensitivity. It has great potential to be used in the clinical management of patients in NSCLC who are amenable to early surgery. More studies with large sample sizes in the same direction are needed in future to obtain more reliable evidence-based support.

Neu im Fachgebiet Radiologie

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Stören weiße Wände und viel Licht die Bildqualitätskontrolle?

Wenn es darum geht, die technische Qualität eines Mammogramms zu beurteilen, könnten graue Wandfarbe und reduzierte Beleuchtung im Bildgebungsraum von Vorteil sein. Darauf deuten zumindest Ergebnisse einer kleinen Studie hin. 

PMBCL mit CMR: Radiatio kann ohne Risiko weggelassen werden

Patienten mit primär mediastinalem B-Zell-Lymphom (PMBCL), die nach der Induktionstherapie eine komplette metabolische Remission (CMR) erreichen und keine konsolidierende Bestrahlung erhalten, müssen offenbar keine Überlebensnachteile fürchten.

Hypoxisch-ischämische Enzephalopathie: Indikatoren für eine ungünstige Prognose

Eine US-amerikanische Studie widmete sich der Identifizierung prognostischer Parameter bei Neugeborenen mit mittelschwerer oder schwerer hypoxisch-ischämischer Enzephalopathie (HIE), die mittels induzierter Hypoxie behandelt wurden. Besonders im 24-Stunden-EEG und der MRT konnten relevante Hinweise gefunden werden.
