PET Imaging for Gynecologic Malignancies

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

This review article summarizes the clinical applications of established and emerging PET tracers in the evaluation of the 5 most common gynecologic malignancies: endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Emphasis is given to 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose as the most widely used and studied tracer, with additional clinical tracers also explored. The common imaging protocols are discussed, including standard dose ranges and uptake times, established roles, as well as the challenges and future directions of these imaging techniques. The key points are emphasized with images from selected cases.
