Diagnostic performance of time-of-flight PET/CT for evaluating nodal metastasis of the axilla in breast cancer

Conclusions The sensitivity of TOF [F-18]FDG-PET/CT was as high as 85% by visual analysis. SUVmax using TOF [F-18]FDG-PET/CT showed high diagnostic performance for N-staging in breast cancer patients, especially high negative predictive value. The specificity, positive predictive value and accuracy of SUVmax were higher than those of visual analysis.
