Added Value of Integrated Whole-Body PET/MRI for Evaluation of Colorectal Cancer: Comparison With Contrast-Enhanced MDCT

Abstract

Integrated whole-body PET/MRI added value to CECT in the detection of metastatic lesions and characterization of indeterminate lesions, albeit with limited performance for small pulmonary metastatic nodules. The results suggest that PET/MRI may aid in the selection of more appropriate treatment strategies for patients with colorectal cancer.
