Review Title: | Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET for ablation treatment planning, intraprocedural monitoring, and response |
Abstract: | PET has become an essential tool for staging and response assessment in oncologic imaging. Over the past decade it has also evolved into a tool for image-guided interventions, specifically in the rapidly growing field of interventional oncology. PET-guided biopsies have greater sensitivity and diagnostic yield for fluorodeoxyglucose-avid lesions. Real-time PET imaging can also provide valuable image guidance during therapeutic minimally invasive procedures such as ablation of PET-avid tumors. The increasing use of PET in the assessment of therapeutic response results in earlier identification of disease that is amenable to image-guided therapies. © 2019 Elsevier Inc. |
