Assessment of Suspected Malignancy or Infection in Immunocompromised Patients After Solid Organ Transplantation by [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT and [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI
ConclusionFor immunocompromised patients with clinically unresolved symptoms, to rule out vital tumor manifestations or metabolic active inflammation, [18F]FDG-PET/MRI, CE-[18F]FDG-PET/CT, and NC-[18F]FDG-PET/CT exhibit excellent performance in diagnosing malignancy or infection. The main strength of PET/MRI is its considerably lower level of radiation exposure than that associated with PET/CT.
