The use of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan imaging is undoubtedly a significant evolution in oncological urology, although at present of limited use in every day urology practice. The aim of this study is to highlight the indication and diagnostic accuracy of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in the staging of a patient with metachronous bilateral testicular seminoma, elevated tumor markers, and equivocal conventional imaging findings.
正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)成像的应用无疑是泌尿肿瘤学领域的一项重大进展,尽管目前在日常泌尿外科实践中的应用有限。本研究的目的是强调氟-18氟脱氧葡萄糖PET/CT在一名异时性双侧睾丸精原细胞瘤、肿瘤标志物升高且传统影像学检查结果不明确的患者分期中的适应证及诊断准确性。
