The value of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance whole-body scans and local enhancement scans in the preoperative staging and resectability assessment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In addition to contrast-enhanced multiphase computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), integrated positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) is increasingly being used for the preoperative evaluation of pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study was to explore the value of hybrid ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) PET/MR imaging in preoperative assessment and treatment decision-making.

Methods

A retrospective data collection (of imaging, clinical, and pathological information) was conducted on patients who underwent ¹⁸F-FDG PET/MR with clinically diagnosed or suspected pancreatic cancer from March 2018 to March 2022 in Ruijin Hospital. The data of 76 patients were initially included, with 1 of th
