AI Article Synopsis
- The article aims to demonstrate how combining whole-body MRI and PET scans can effectively assess cancer patients.
- MRI is highlighted as a better imaging method than CT for certain body areas, while PET FDG is recognized as a key diagnostic tool in cancer care.
- The integration of FDG PET with whole-body MRI provides a detailed anatomical view that enhances the understanding of cancer spread and condition.
Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the feasibility of fused whole-body MRI and PET for the evaluation of patients with cancer.
Conclusion: MRI has proven to be superior to CT for studying several regions of the body, and PET FDG has become an established diagnostic tool in oncology. Because FDG accumulates avidly in tumor tissue, fusing FDG PET to whole-body MRI allows good anatomy-based evaluation of disease.
