چکیده

FDG-PET imaging of primary breast cancer tumors is currently not a generally accepted indication. This is explained by scientific research in the early days of PET imaging, that demonstrated poor visibility of tumors with FDG within surrounding glandular tissue, and poor anatomical localization of lesions within a breast on PET alone. On the other hand, MRI is now developing as a standard tool for breast imaging. New technological developmens may change the situation in the coming years. Compared to first-generation devices, current PET-scanners provide a much higher spatial resolution, contrast resolution, and sensitivity. Integrated PET/CT scanners have allowed direct localization of lesions detected on PET on anatomical CT images. FDG-PET is now once again considered for staging of breast cancer (1). As a next step, integration of PET and MRI may allow direct correlation of lesions for diagnosis, biopsy, surgical planning, and response monitoring (2).
