The Use of F-18-FDG PET/CT in Renal and Bladder Tumors
Journal Title: Nuclear Medicine Seminars - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Clinical imaging has been the cornerstone to guide patient management and therapy strategies for oncology patients. In the last decades, the use of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been increased and PET/CT has been introduced as the major imaging technique in international guidelines for staging and re-staging of many cancer types as well as for assessment of therapy response in oncological imaging. In this review, the contribution of fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in renal and bladder tumors is discussed under current guidelines.
