Value of 18F-FDG PET in the detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis can be difficult to diagnose using computed tomography (CT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of 2-(fluorine 18) fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
