Abstract

[Purpose] To assess the clinical application of 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis for gastric cancer.[Methods] Forty-nine gastric cancer patients proven by gastroscopy and histopathological examination received 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging.The 18 F-FDG PET/CT diagnostic results were compared with pathology,other imaging findings and clinical follow up.[Results] 18 F-FDG PET/CT was positive in 44 cases with positive rate 89.8%(44/49).18 F-FDG PET/CT scan for lymphatic metastasis resulted in a sensitivity of 82.1%(32/39).18 F-FDG PET/CT scan for distance metastasis resulted in a sensitivity of 91.6%(11/12).[Conclusion] 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging is sensitive for finding primary lesion,lymphatic metastasis and distance metastasis with a higher diagnostic value for gastric cancer.
