The Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in staging of gallbladder carcinomas.

CONCLUSION: In our study, distant metastases and age were observed to be crucial prognostic factors in patients with gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). In addition, we believe that 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging will help to stage the GBC, detect nodal and distant metastasis, and evaluate the metabolic state of gallbladder lesions.
