Targeted therapy monitoring of BRAF-V600-mutant Erdheim-Chester disease by fast quantitative whole-body bone CZT-tomoscintigraphies

Sumario:Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytosis due to proto-oncogene mutations, primarily affecting the long bones and possibly being treated by novel targeted therapies. (18)F-FDG PET is a reference technique for ECD assessment. However, we present a case where easier and more objective monitoring of the ECD-related bone metabolism abnormalities under treatment was obtained with the standardized uptake value-based information provided by fast whole-body [Tc-99 m]-HDP bone tomoscintigraphies (QWBT) recorded with a high-sensitivity CZT-camera/computed tomography (CT) hybrid system.
