Abstract:
Accurate staging and response assessment is vital in the management of childhood malignancies. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (FDG PET-CT) provides complimentary anatomical and functional information. Oncological applications of FDG PET-CT are not as well-established within the paediatric population compared to adults. This article will comprehensively review established oncological PET-CT applications in paediatric oncology and provide an overview of emerging and future developments in this domain.
