Abstract:
This article reviews the current performance and status of PET/CT and MR imaging in four different abdominopelvic malignancies: cervical, pancreatic, and rectal cancers and liver metastases, as well as in Crohn's disease. The authors discuss the complementary aspects of these imaging techniques to evaluate the nature of the lesion, its local extent, and distant spread. These disease conditions represent pertinent clinical models in which PET/MRI may, if and when available, constitute a powerful tool in the management of patients.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
