Combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for evaluating gastric and colorectal cancers
Record ID 32014001189
English
Authors' objectives:
Combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is an imaging technique that merges physiologic data from positron emission tomography (PET) and morphologic data from computed tomography (CT). The goal of PET-CT as an imaging tool for gastric and colorectal cancers is to provide optimal imaging capability by minimizing misalignment between PET and CT images. PET-CT has been proposed as a method for detecting and staging new occurrences of cancer, for restaging recurrent cancer, for treatment planning, and for monitoring response to treatment.
