Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Diagnostic value of whole-body MRI and bone scintigraphy in the detection of osseous metastases in patients with breast cancer--A Prospective Double-Blinded Study at two Hospital Centers].
The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) and bone scintigraphy (BS) for the screening of bone metastases for the first time in a large and homogeneous patient collective with breast cancer in a systematic and controlled study. ⋯ It could be demonstrated that WB-MRI is superior to BS for detecting bone metastases in breast cancer patients. These results should be considered for the next version of the S 3 guideline "Diagnosis, Therapy and Follow-Up of Breast Cancer".
