18F-FDG micro-PET/CT for intra-operative margin assessment during breast-conserving surgery.
Conclusions: This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that high-resolution FDG-PET/CT can facilitate intra-operative margin assessment during BCS. This technique achieves good sensitivity and specificity and may therefore reduce re-operation rates in the future.
