摘要Objective Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)is often associated with bone marrow infiltration,and 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(18F-FDG PET/CT)has potential diagnostic significance for bone marrow infiltration in DLBCL.Methods A total of 102 patients diagnosed with DLBCL between September 2019 and August 2022 were included.Bone marrow biopsy and 18F-FDG PET/CT examinations were performed at the time of initial diagnosis.Kappa tests were used to evaluate the agreement of 18F-FDG PET/CT with the gold standard,and the imaging features of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration on PET/CT were described.Results The total detection rate of bone marrow infiltration was not significantly different between PET/CT and primary bone marrow biopsy(P = 0.302)or between the two bone marrow biopsies(P = 0.826).The sensitivity,specificity,and Youden index of PET/CT for the diagnosis of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration were 0.923(95%CI,0.759-0.979),0.934(95%CI,0.855-0.972),and 0.857,respectively.Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT has a comparable efficiency in the diagnosis of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration.PET/CT-guided bone marrow biopsy can reduce the misdiagnosis of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration.
