Description
In order to evaluate the value of 18FDG-PET in the diagnosis an staging of colorectal carcinoma, 24 patients with potentially colorectal carcinoma are made 18FDG-PET examination. The primary results show that the primary tumour is visualized in 95% with PET(SUVmax=7.09 ± 3.26, 2.98-12.2). Distant metastases are found in eight patients entirely. For local-regional lymph nodes, the sensitivity is 50%, the specificity is 100%. 33% of patients are facilitated in the treatment planning. 18FDG-PET can detect primary colorectal carcinoma and metastasis of lymph node, liver, bone sensitively. 18FDG-PET is of little use for determinant of stage. 18FDG-PET is useful is the staging and treatment of colorectal of carcinoma.
