Molecular Imaging with PET-CT and PET-MRI in Pediatric Musculoskeletal Diseases.
Molecular Imaging with PET-CT and PET-MRI in Pediatric Musculoskeletal Diseases. Seminars in nuclear medicine Guja, K. E., Behr, G., Bedmutha, A., Kuhn, M., Nadel, H. R., Pandit-Taskar, N. 2024Abstract
Molecular imaging has emerged as an integral part of oncologic imaging. Given the physiologic changes that precede anatomic changes, molecular imaging can enable early detection of disease and monitoring of response. [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron emission tomography (PET) is the predominant molecular imaging modality used in oncologic assessment and can be performed using PET/CT or PET/MR. In pediatric patients, PET/MRI imaging is generally preferred due to low radiation exposure and PET/MRI is particularly advantageous for imaging musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases, as MRI provides superior characterization of tissue changes as compared to CT. In this article, we provide an overview of the typical role of PET CT/MRI in assessment of some common pediatric malignancies and benign MSK diseases with case examples. We also discuss the relative advantages of PET/MRI compared to PET/CT, and review published data with a primary focus on the use of PET/MR.
