Simultaneous PET/MRI in the Evaluation of Breast and Prostate Cancer Using Combined Na[ 18 F] F and [ 18 F]FDG: a Focus on Skeletal Lesions

ConclusionsThe ability of Na[18F]F/[18F]FDG PET/MRI to identify more skeletal lesions than99mTc-MDP WBBS and to additionally identify extra-skeletal disease may be beneficial for patient care and represent an alternative to the single modalities performed separately. Na[18F]F/[18F]FDG PET/MRI is a promising approach for evaluation of skeletal and extra-skeletal lesions in a selected population of breast and prostate cancer patients.
