Capacidad discriminatoria de la gammagrafía ósea con SPECT y la tomografía axial computarizada para la localización del origen (niveles) del dolor lumbar crónico

El dolor lumbar crónico (DLC) es una causa importante de discapacidad global, cuyo diagnóstico se ve dificultado por su etiología multifactorial y la limitada correlación entre hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos. Este estudio incluyó a 129 pacientes entre enero de 2023 y junio de 2024, comparando la...

description El dolor lumbar crónico (DLC) es una causa importante de discapacidad global, cuyo diagnóstico se ve dificultado por su etiología multifactorial y la limitada correlación entre hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos. Este estudio incluyó a 129 pacientes entre enero de 2023 y junio de 2024, comparando la capacidad discriminatoria y la concordancia diagnóstica de la gammagrafía ósea con SPECT y la tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) para localizar el origen vertebral del dolor. Se encontró una concordancia moderada en L1-L2 (Kappa = 0.42) y baja en otros niveles, con la SPECT mostrando mayor sensibilidad, especialmente en L3-L4 y L4-L5, aunque con menor especificidad. El mayor poder discriminatorio de la SPECT se evidenció en L1-L2 (AUC = 0.81). Se concluye que la SPECT ofrece ventajas funcionales clave, complementando a la TAC y mejorando la precisión diagnóstica y las decisiones terapéuticas

BIBLIOGRAFÍA 50EspecializaciónChronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major cause of global disability, with diagnosis challenged by its multifactorial etiology and the limited correlation between clinical and radiological findings. This study included 129 patients between January 2023 and June 2024, comparing the discriminatory capacity and diagnostic concordance of bone scintigraphy with SPECT and computed tomography (CT) for localizing the vertebral origin of pain. Moderate concordance was found at the L1-L2 level (Kappa = 0.42) and low concordance at other levels, with SPECT showing greater sensitivity, particularly at L3-L4 and L4-L5, although with lower specificity. The highest discriminatory power of SPECT was observed at L1-L2 (AUC = 0.81). It is concluded that SPECT provides key functional advantages, complementing CT and improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic decision-making.Modalidad Presencialapplication/pdfspahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/co/Abierto (Texto Completo)Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 2.5 Colombiahttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Capacidad discriminatoria de la gammagrafía ósea con SPECT y la tomografía axial computarizada para la localización del origen (niveles) del dolor lumbar crónicoDiscriminatory capacity of bone scintigraphy with SPECT and computed tomography for the localization of the origin (levels) of chronic low back painEspecialista en Medicina NuclearUniversidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga UNABFacultad Ciencias de la SaludEspecialización en Medicina NuclearEMN-1322info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisTesishttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/TMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_b1a7d7d4d402bcceMedical sciencesHealth sciencesNuclear medicineRadiationPhysiological effectChronic low back pain, Bone scintigraphy, SPECT, Computed tomography (CT), Diagnostic concordance, Discriminatory capacityCiencias médicasMedicina nuclearRadiaciónEfectos fisiológicosCiencias de la saludDolor lumbarGammagrafía ósea,Tomografía axial computarizada,ConcordanciaCapacidad discriminatoria1.
