ABSTRACT

Purpose: To demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities to control effects of HIFU treatment in patient with osteosarcoma bone metastases by SPECT-CT method.

Material and methods: SPECT/CT treatment monitoring of the patient with bone metastases of osteosarcoma after ultrasound ablation.

Results: Metastases were detected in the SPECT/CT-pictures. The dynamic observation during the treatment was carried. The effect of the treatment caused by thermoablative manifests in the early stages (observed after 1 month). The effect of the treatment is the lack of accumulation-seeking radiopharmaceutical labeled with ^99mTc in the treatment area.

Conclusion: SPECT/CT study is a demonstrative method for early determination of pathological metabolism degree at bone metastases of osteosarcoma after HIFU. SPECT/CT is an effective method of treatment monitoring of bone metastases with use of HIFU therapies.

Key words: SPECT/CT, HIFU, osteosarcoma bone metastases
