Trial Title:
Use of Bone Scintigraphy, CT and MRI in Breast Cancer
NCT ID:
NCT00682253
Condition:
Breast Neoplasms
Conditions: Official terms:
Breast Neoplasms
Conditions: Keywords:
SPECT/CT
MRI
Breast neoplasms
Study type:
Observational
Overall status:
Unknown status
Study design:
Time perspective:
Prospective
Summary:
A new imaging modality combining CT and tomographic bone scintigraphy (SPECT/CT) has
enabled the combination of functional and anatomical imaging. Its use in cancer patients
has not yet been evaluated or validated against a relative gold stand or clinical follow
up. The purposes of this study are: 1: to validate the use of conventional planar bone
scintigraphy and SPECT combined with low-dose or diagnostic CT and compare this to 3
Tesla MRI and clinical follow up. 2: to compare the specificity of low-dose and
diagnostic CT, respectively, combined with bone SPECT. 3: to construct an algorithm for
optimal evaluation of disease dissemination in breast cancer patients
