Dual time point [18F]Flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) with water gastric distension in differentiation between malignant and benign gastric lesions

Objectives: To assess diagnostic accuracy and added value of dual time point 18F-FDG PET/CT after gastric distention using oral water in differentiating malignant from benign gastric lesions. Methods: Patients (n = 30, 19 males, mean age 58.6 ± 16.4 years). All patients are known or suspected oncolo...
