Dual-time-point breast PET increases diagnostic accuracy
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
Dual-time-point imaging is promising technique that can increase PET's sensitivity and specificity by maximizing the uptake of F-18 FDG in malignant tissue, while allowing for the decrease of the radiopharmaceutical in inflammatory tissue. A group of researchers from Philadelphia recently put this technique to the task of improving breast cancer diagnosis with PET.
