A variety of different tumors can arise from any of the tissues present in the retroperitoneum, and they exhibit a wide range of pathologic types. Although computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can demonstrate important characteristics of these tumors, diagnosis is often challenging for radiologists. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to review (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT) features of different kinds of benign and malignant retroperitoneal tumors in comparison with CT or MRI findings alone and to become familiar with the wide variety of imaging characteristics.
各种不同的肿瘤都可能源自腹膜后腔的任何组织,而且它们表现出广泛的病理类型。虽然计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)可以显示这些肿瘤的重要特征,但诊断对放射科医生来说往往具有挑战性。本影像学专题文章旨在回顾(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG-PET/CT)在比较 CT 或 MRI 单独检查结果时,不同类型良性和恶性腹膜后肿瘤的特征,并熟悉其广泛的影像学特征。
