Imaging with equipment that combines positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) provides the special benefits of both in one procedure. It is a highly sensitive imaging technique ...

[76] With regard to the detection of primary lesions, FDG-PET demonstrated superior results (sensitivity of 96.7%) to CT/MRI (sensitivity of 83.3%). In the evaluation of retroperitoneal lymph node ...

However, the effective dose from a high resolution diagnostic scan can be quite high (up to 30 mSv for a whole body CT scan). The effective dose from a PET scan is modest and depends on the activity ...

PET-CT is performed using a small amount of a radioactive tracer, 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), that’s injected ... masked reviewers evaluated the scans of 246 patients who underwent both ...

The seven best autoPET teams report in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence on how algorithms can detect tumor lesions in positron emission tomography (PET ... (FDG), is used for this purpose ...
