PET- CT molecular and cellular imaging

• Detection hypermetabolic tumours: SCC, Merkel • Diagnosis lymph nodes involvment, distal metastasis • Treatment results monitoring and early reccurence detection • Imaging use for staging or surveillance of Head & Neck – lymph nodes not visible on CT (sensitive 87-90%, specific 94-99%) • False positive or false negative results /inflamation, infection, less metabolism at skin tumours.
