Key result
Adding 18F-FDG PET/CT to adrenal protocol CT improved diagnostic accuracy for adrenal metastasis from 85.3% to 89.7% when high FDG uptake alone was considered metastasis.

Adding 18F-FDG PET/CT to adrenal protocol CT improves diagnostic accuracy for characterizing adrenal metastasis in oncologic patients.
Park et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Adrenal metastasis in oncologic patients (n=68). 18F-FDG PET/CT vs. Adrenal protocol CT was evaluated on Diagnostic accuracy for adrenal metastasis. Adding 18F-FDG PET/CT to adrenal protocol CT improved diagnostic accuracy for adrenal metastasis from 85.3% to 89.7% when high FDG uptake alone was considered metastasis.
