Description
The clinical role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose 18F-FDG PET in renal malignant tumor is mainly for diagnosis of primary or recurrent renal tumors and staging and detection of unsuspected metastases. the 9impact of 18f-FDG PET on disease management is due to the findings and confirmed of metastases, which is superior to conventional imagings, eg. CT. But the sensitivity of 18F-FDG in the detection of renal cell carcinomal is lower than CT, it may be in connection with the grade or some property of tumor. (authors)
