Abstract:
Objective To investigate radioactive abnormalities of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)in the bone imaging.
Methods Divide 712 diagnosed or suspected NPC patients and other 1036 patients in 99Tcmmethylene diphosphonate bone imaging into 6 groups.Draw ROI of nasal region, and then analysis radioactive counts of ROI.
Results Average radioactivity counts of A group were lower than F group(t=3.47, P < 0.01), and B, C and E groups higher than F group.It showed a significantly statistical difference(tA=17.73, tB=4.39, tE= 2.85, P < 0.01).The ratio of the average radioactivity counts per pixel and the background radioactivity counts of B and C groups were significantly higher than F group(t=24.99, t=13.11, P < 0.01).
Conclusion Radioactivecounts of nasal part in diagnosed or suspected NPC and other carcinoma of nasal patients and the patients with the history of benign or malignant carcinoma increased significantly.
