Introduction Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) is an innovative imaging technology that simultaneously acquires PET and MRI, allowing the integration of sensitive metabolic and functional information with precise structural and anatomical characterization of tissues ( ). PET/MRI has shown…

Introduction Gynecologic malignancies are a considerable source of morbidity and mortality, accounting for nearly 672,000 deaths globally in 2020 ( ). Imaging complements surgical and clinical gynecologic cancer staging. Pelvic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) is commonly used in clinical…
Introduction The use of positron emission tomography (PET) in the evaluation of genitourinary malignancies has traditionally been hampered by low tumor uptake and the masquerading effect of excreted radiopharmaceutical activity in the urinary collecting system ( ; ; ; ).…
Introduction Hybrid positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an emerging technology with promising applications in cancer evaluation ( ). The main advantage of these systems is that both anatomic and functional MRrI sequences are jointly acquired with metabolic…

Introduction Blood malignancies account for approximately 10% of newly diagnosed malignant tumors in the United States. While a large number of different blood cancer entities exist, three main groups are generally recognized: 1. Lymphoma, which is responsible for almost 50%…
Primary bone and soft tissue malignancies Primary bone and soft tissue malignancies are a heterogeneous group of relatively rare tumors, most of them deriving from mesenchymal tissue (sarcomas). The reported international annual incidence for sarcomas ranges from 1.8 to 5…
Clinical management of malignancies of the chest Lung cancer Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women worldwide with a 5-year survival of only around 20% ( ). Cigarette smoking is the single most common…
