Comparative Study
Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting pelvic lymph-node metastases in patients with early-stage uterine cervical cancer: comparison with MRI findings.
This study aimed to investigate the applied value of F-fluoro-2-dexoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) and MRI in detecting lymph-node metastasis in early-stage cervical cancer. ⋯ PET/CT has been proven to be valuable in detecting lymph-node metastases. Compared with MRI, PET/CT has higher sensitivity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer for detecting lymphatic metastases.
