Diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT, ultrasonography and MRI

Abstract

The diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT for detection of axillary node metastasis was not significantly different from that of ultrasonography or MRI in breast cancer patients. Combining 18F-FDG PET/CT with ultrasonography or MRI could improve the diagnostic performance compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT alone.
