Does PET with CT Have Clinical Utility in the Management of Patients with Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm?

Background: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are well-established pancreatic precancerous lesions. Indications for resection are outlined in the 2012 International Consensus Guidelines (ICG). Because of the low specificity of the ICG, many patients will undergo potentially unnecessary surgery for nonmalignant IPMNs.
