Abstract:
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers and one of the leading causes of cancer death in women. It is often asymptomatic in early stages, and thus most patients are diagnosed when it is of advanced stage. For these reasons, the role of biomarkers and tomographic imaging is crucial. Fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET/CT is a useful imaging modality in different clinical settings of the disease, overcoming some limits of conventional imaging and influencing prognosis and therapeutic approaches. PET/MR imaging is an emerging modality, and its potential role remains to be explored.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
