Prevalence and clinical significance of unsuspected intracranial findings in patients undergoing oncological whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging
The inclusion of the brain in the field of view in oncological whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT may lead to the early detection of unsuspected intracranial metastases and changes in patient management. This is especially true for breast and lung cancers, which have a greater propensity to metastasize to the brain.
