The value of whole-body contrast-enhanced 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis and staging of patients with laryngeal carcinoma

Conclusion The results suggest that contrast-enhanced dual-phase PET/CT imaging contributes additional diagnostic information compared with the conventional methods for the initial evaluation of primary laryngeal tumors. 18F-FDG PET/CT has a good diagnostic performance for the detection of regional nodal and distant metastasis, and also synchronous tumors in patients with laryngeal carcinoma.
