T/SHIA 010-2021 TC-99m MDP Bone Scan Structural Report Diagnostic Classification

Scope

Scope: This standard describes the method of diagnosing and classifying lesions in Tc-99m MDP bone scans using a structured report format. This standard provides guidelines for the diagnosis and classification of benign and malignant lesions in nuclear medicine bone scan images, as well as explanations of diagnostic conclusions. This standard applies to AIDS research using nuclear medicine bone scan images and descriptive reports written by nuclear medicine physicians on a daily basis. Main technical content: The bone scans used in this standard are planar whole-body bone scans, which do not involve SPECT tomography or CT images. Establishing this diagnostic classification standard and lesion benignity/malignancy differentiation criteria requires clinical experience and knowledge in SPECT, CT-related bone scans, SPECT/CT, etc. The purpose of formulating this standard includes, but is not limited to: - Providing a structured report format for artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis (AIDS) of Tc-99m bone scans. - Establishing diagnostic criteria for differentiating benign and malignant lesions in individual bone scan images.
