초록

본 연구는 미만성 $^{18}F-FDG$ 갑상선 섭취를 보이는 PET/CT 영상에서 최대 표준섭취계수($SUV_{max}$)와 갑상선 자가 항체(anti-TPO Ab, anti-TG Ab, TSH)들 사이의 임상적 상관관계를 하시모토 갑상선염과 그레이브스병 중심으로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 2010년 5월부터 2013년 4월까지 건강검진에서 PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자 1,097명을 대상으로 미만성 FDG 갑상선 섭취 여부를 분석하여 갑상선 기능 검사와 초음파 검사를 추가적으로 시행하였다. 결과적으로 미만성 $^{18}F-FDG$ 갑상선 섭취를 보이는 자가 면역 갑상선 질환 환자는 39명(3.6%)이 발견되었으며 하시모토 갑상선염은 43.6%, 그레이브스병은 23.1% 이었다. 하시모토 갑상선염은 anti-TPO Ab와 anti-TG 수준이 높은 역가의 양성 반응을 보였으며 $SUV_{max}$와 anti-TPO Ab간 상관계수가 통계적으로 유의하였다(r>0.4, p<0.05). 또한 그레이브스병은 대부분의 갑상선 자가 항체의 수준이 높은 역가의 양성 반응을 보였으며 $SUV_{max}$와 TSH간 상관계수가 통계적으로 유의하였다(r>0.5, p<0.01). 따라서 미만성 18F-FDG 갑상선 섭취 증가에 따른 $SUV_{max}$ 수준이 높을수록 하시모토 갑상선염은 anti-TPO Ab 수준이, 그레이브스병은 TSH 수준이 비례적으로 증가됨을 알 수 있었고 이러한 상관관계는 자가 면역 갑상선 질환에 대한 부대 징후를 판단할 수 있는 가장 영향력 있는 척도로서 임상적 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단하였다.

The purpose of this study were to analyze the clinical correlation between the thyroid autoimmune antibodies (anti-TPO Ab, anti-TG Ab, and TSH) and the maximum standardized uptake value ($SUV_{max}$) base on the Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the Graves' disease in diffusely $^{18}F-FDG$ uptake of the thyroid gland to the PET/CT image. To achieve this, we was performed the PET/CT examination for the 1,097 subjects from May 2010 to April 2013 in the health screening, and was detected the diffused FDG thyroid uptake, and was additionally performed the thyroid function test (TFT) and the ultrasound (US). As a results, the autoimmune thyroid disease with the diffused FDG thyroid uptake were discovered 39 patients (3.9%), of this, the Hashimoto's thyroiditis was 43.6% and the Graves' disease was 23.1%. Hashimoto's thyroiditis was shown the positive reaction of high titer between the anti-TPO Ab and the anti-TG Ab level, and the correlation coefficient between the $SUV_{max}$ and the anti-TPO Ab was a statistically significant (r>04, p<0.05). Also, Graves' disease was shown the positive reaction of high titer most of the thyroid autoimmune antibodies, and the correlation coefficient between the $SUV_{max}$ and the anti-TPO Ab was a statistically significant (r>05, p<0.01). Therefor, when have a high standard of the $SUV_{max}$ due to the diffusely $^{18}F-FDG$ uptake of the thyroid gland, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease were proportionally increased the anti-TPO Ab and TSH level, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the $SUV_{max}$ and the thyroid autoimmune antibodies will be the most influential criterion that was a standard of judgment for the epihpenomenon of the autoimmune thyroid disease, and it will be available for the clinical application.
