Evaluation of metabolic uptake in gynecological organs using FDG-PET in women diagnosed with non-gynecological malignancies
FDG-PET imaging is a valuable tool for identifying metabolic activity in gynecological organs and for differentiating malignant lesions from benign ones. High SUVmax values and endometrial thickness are significant indicators of malignancy, particularly in patients undergoing hormonal therapy. This study underscores the importance of integrating metabolic imaging with clinical and morphological assessments for the early detection and management of gynecological malignancies.
