Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Combined Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) for diagnosis and management of soft tissue sarcoma
Record ID 32012000195
English
Authors' recommendations:
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a three-dimensional (3D) imaging technique that measures the distribution of an injected or inhaled radiotracer to determine the level of physiologic and biochemical activity in tissue cells. Due to differences in metabolic rates, radiotracer concentration in cancerous cells differs from the concentration in surrounding normal tissue cells. PET has been proposed as a tool to characterize (diagnose and stage) tumors in soft tissue in order to subsequently predict response to treatment.
