CLINICAL MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -A procedure that combines the pictures from a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and a computed tomography (CT) scan. The PET and CT scans are done at the same time with the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -Uterine fibroids, hepatic adenomas, fibroadenomas of the breast and desmoid tumours are benign or relatively benign lesions that can have quite high FDG-avidity.

Detailed explanation-3: -PET is a useful technique in cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. In types of both cancer, the primary tumor diagnostic performance of PET is inferior to that of CT or MRI, but PET is particularly useful for the detection of lymph node metastases, distant metastases, and recurrence.
