Metabolic parameters on [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose PET/MRI: feasibility study comparing standardized uptake value quantification obtained from dedicated breast and whole-body scans within a single protocol in breast cancer patients
Metabolic parameters for local staging in the index tumor on bpPET/MRI may be considered comparable to the metabolic parameters retrieved from wbPET/MRI in breast cancer patients. These findings reinforce the potential of a breast-dedicated protocol integrated in the whole-body [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI in breast cancer patients.
