Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. This article discusses the emerging roles of 18F-FDG PET/CT and DWI in the assessment of peritoneal carcinomatosis in ovarian carcinoma from diagnostic accuracy to disease prognostication with gross pathologic correlation. CONCLUSION. PET/CT and DWI have incremental clinical values over conventional modalities with high predictive values of incomplete cytoreduction in ovarian carcinoma. The respective quantitative metrics offer evaluation of tumor burden with prognostic value in ovarian carcinoma.
