متن کاملApplication of PET and PEt/CT imaging for cancer screening.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential application of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) and PET/CT for cancer screening in asymptomatic individuals. The subjects consisted of 3631 physical check-up examinees (1947 men, 1684 women; mean age +/- SD, 52.1 +/- 8.2 y) with non-specific medical histories. Whole-body FDG PET (or PET/CT), ultrasound and tumor mar...
