Implementation of FAST-PET/MRI for whole-body staging of female patients with recurrent pelvic malignancies: A comparison to PET/CT.

Objectives: To compare the diagnostic competence of FAST-PET/MRI and PET/CT for whole-body staging of female patients suspect for a recurrence of a pelvic malignancy.

Methods: 24 female patients with a suspected tumor recurrence underwent a PET/CT and subsequent PET/MRI examination. For PET/MRI readings a whole-body FAST-protocol was implemented.
