Diagnostic performance of simultaneous PET-MR versus PET-CT in oncology with an overview on clinical utility and referral pattern of PET-MR: a single institutional study

In our past 5 years of PET-MR practice, we found that simultaneous PET-MR is a highly recommended ideal imaging technique for oncological and nononcological indications. It has excellent diagnostic performance with high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy when compared to PET-CT in primary tumour, nodal and distant metastases (TNM) staging in specific subgroup of breast and lung malignancy patients.
