Diffusion-weighted images and PET / CT in the diagnosis of cancer of the abdominal cavity

Abstract

In recent years, due to the trend towards an increase in the proximal part of the stomach cancer with the transition to the cardia, renewed interest in the use of diffuse changes in the weighted (DWI) and PET / CT. This can be useful for diagnosis and restaging recurrences at an earlier date or with greater confidence, and also be useful in determining response to chemotherapy
