Complementary role of two-phase multidetector CT-angiography and ¹⁸F-FDG-PET in hybrid PET/CT imaging of the hepatocellular carcinomaOriginal article

Eva Ferdová, Jiří Ferda, Ondřej Daum, VladislavTřeška, Jan Záhlava

Ces radiol. 2007, 61(1):44-53  

During hybrid PET/CT imaging, two-phase multidetector-row CT data acquisition usable for CT-angiography in arterial and portal venous phases makes the depiction of HCC in liver parenchyma more accurate and enables to detect intravascular spread of the tumor; the contribution of PET is in the evaluation of HCC differentiation and in detection of distant metastases.
