These preliminary results demonstrate that the SUV- and volume-based parameters for bone uptake obtained with quantitative SPECT/CT and PET/CT are strongly correlated in patients with prostate cancer. The SUV parameters obtained with SPECT/CT were significantly lower than those obtained with PET/CT, whereas the uptake volume obtained with SPECT/CT was significantly higher than that obtained with PET/CT.
