Applications of PET/MR Imaging in Urogynecologic and Genitourinary Cancers.

Applications of PET/MR Imaging in Urogynecologic and Genitourinary Cancers. Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2017 May;25(2):335-350 Authors: Oldan JD, Shah SN, Rose TL Abstract Positron emission tomograph (PET)-magnetic resonance (MR) is a new modality combining PET and MR. In gynecologic cancers it can be used for staging of cervical and endometrial cancer, planning of radiation therapy in cervical cancer, assessing response to chemotherapy in ovarian cancer, and detection of recurrence in most gynecologic cancers. It is being explored for prostate cancer and other genitourinary cancers, but is still in experimental stages. PMID: 28390533 [PubMed - in process]
