Discrimination of benign, atypical, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours in neurofibromatosis type 1 – intraindividual comparison of positron emission computed tomography and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
Both PET/CT-derived SUV<sub>max</sub> and MRI-derived ADC allow sensitive and non-invasive differentiation of benign and (pre)-malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours. Nevertheless, DW-MRI cannot be considered as non-inferior to F-18-FDG-PET/CT in this prospective single-centre study.
