Accuracy of iodine density thresholds for the separation of vertebral bone metastases from healthy-appearing trabecular bone in spectral detector computed tomography

Purpose To evaluate quantitative iodine density mapping (IDM) with spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) as a quantitative biomarker for separation of vertebral trabecular bone metastases (BM) from healthy-appearing trabecular bone (HTB). Materials and methods IRB-approved retrospective singl...

Description
Summary:Purpose To evaluate quantitative iodine density mapping (IDM) with spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) as a quantitative biomarker for separation of vertebral trabecular bone metastases (BM) from healthy-appearing trabecular bone (HTB). Materials and methods IRB-approved retrospective single-center-study of portal venous SDCT datasets acquired between June 2016 and March 2017. Inclusion of 43 consecutive cancer patients with BM and 40 without. Target lesions and non-affected control vertebrae were defined using follow-up imaging, MRI, and/or bone scintigraphy. ID and standard deviation were determined with ROI measures by two readers in (a) bone metastases, (b) HTB of BM patients and controls, and (c) ID of various vessels. Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the lumbar spine and age were recorded. Multivariate ROC analyses und Wilcoxon test were used to determine thresholds for separation of BM and HTB. p
