Background:

Pancreatic malignancy is a leading cause of cancer death in the US with a poor prognosis.
Conventional CT and MR imaging are standard for pancreatic cancer evaluation.
Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly used for pancreatic cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the applications of PET/CT in pancreatic malignancy management.
To compare the advantages, limitations, and pitfalls of PET/CT with conventional imaging (CT and MR).

Main Methods:

Review of recent data on PET/CT imaging in pancreatic cancer.
Comparison of PET/CT findings with CT and MR imaging modalities.
Evaluation of PET/CT across various stages of pancreatic malignancy management.

Main Results:

PET/CT demonstrates increasing applications in evaluating pancreatic malignancy.
Emerging data reveal specific advantages, limitations, and potential pitfalls of pancreatic PET/CT.
The article provides a comparative analysis against traditional CT and MR imaging.

Conclusions:

PET/CT offers valuable insights into pancreatic malignancy management.
Understanding PET/CT's role, benefits, and drawbacks is crucial for optimal patient care.
This modality complements conventional imaging in the multidisciplinary approach to pancreatic cancer.
