CT, MRI and PET imaging in peritoneal malignancy

Imaging plays a vital role in the evaluation of patients with suspected or proven peritoneal malignancy. Nevertheless, despite significant advances in imaging technology and protocols, assessment of peritoneal pathology remains challenging. The combination of complex peritoneal anatomy, an extensive surface area that may host tumour deposits and the considerable overlap of imaging appearances o...

Liver cancer imaging: role of CT, MRI, US and PET

Liver imaging in patients with a history of known or suspected malignancy is important because the liver is a common site of metastatic spread, especially tumours from the colon, lung, pancreas and stomach, and in patients with chronic liver disease who are at risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma. Since benign liver lesions are common, liverimaging strategies should incorporate liver le...

PET/CT imaging artifacts.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the principles of PET/CT imaging and describe the artifacts associated with it. PET/CT is a new imaging modality that integrates functional (PET) and structural (CT) information into a single scanning session, allowing excellent fusion of the PET and CT images and thus improving lesion localization and interpretation accuracy. Moreover, the CT data can ...

application of pet/ct in oncologic imaging

conclusions pet/ct can provide diagnosis and more accurate staging, location of tumor with its capability in providing the anatomical and physiological information synchronizes. therefore pet/ct plays an important role in oncology. objectives in this paper, we evaluate application of pet/ct for improve oncologic imaging. methods the papers were searched in pubmed and scopus databases with the r...
