Hybrid imaging for detection of carcinoma of unknown primary: a preliminary comparison trial of whole-body PET/MRI versus PET/CT
Highlights • Both 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI provide a comparable diagnostic ability for detection of primary cancer and metastases in CUP-syndrome. • PET/CT and PET/MRI showed comparably high lesion conspicuity and diagnostic confidence, offering superior assessment of pulmonary lesions in...

Summary: | Highlights • Both 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI provide a comparable diagnostic ability for detection of primary cancer and metastases in CUP-syndrome. • PET/CT and PET/MRI showed comparably high lesion conspicuity and diagnostic confidence, offering superior assessment of pulmonary lesions in PET/CT and of cervical lesions in PET/MRI. • Considering the significantly lower dose of ionizing radiation, PET/MRI may serve as a powerful alternative to PET/CT in the future, particularly for therapy monitoring and/or surveillance considering the long-term cumulative dose. |
