Combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for evaluating esophageal cancer
Record ID 32014001188
English
Authors' objectives:
Combined/integrated positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is an imaging technique that merges physiological data from positron emission tomography (PET) and morphological data from computed tomography (CT). The goal of PET-CT as an imaging tool for esophageal cancer is to visualize functional, metabolic activity along with precise anatomical localization of malignant lesions relative to healthy tissue. PET-CT has been proposed as a method for detecting and staging new occurrences of cancer, for radiotherapy planning, for monitoring response to treatment, or for restaging recurrent cancer.
