The use of F-18 FDG PET/CT in the characterization of doubtful adnexal findings and in the staging of ovarian cancer is being extensively evaluated. The purpose of our article is to review the literature and to add our experience to the published works. We concluded that F-18 FDG PET/CT could represent an important method in addition to other imaging modalities (transvaginal ultrasound-, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography) in the characterization of adnexal masses and in the staging of ovarian cancer patients, particularly in assessing the presence of extra-abdominal metastatic spread.
F-18 FDG PET/CT 在可疑附件病变的特征描述和卵巢癌分期中的应用正在被广泛评估。本文旨在对文献进行回顾，并将我们的经验添加到已发表的文献中。我们得出结论，F-18 FDG PET/CT 可以作为一种重要的方法，与其他影像学方式（经阴道超声和增强 CT）相结合，用于附件肿块的特征描述和卵巢癌患者的分期，特别是在评估是否存在腹腔外转移扩散方面。
