Simultaneous positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for the detection and characterisation of liver lesions in patients with colorectal cancer: A pictorial review

Summary Patients with colorectal cancer undergo frequent diagnostic imaging to stage the extent of metastatic disease and assess response to treatment. Imaging is typically via diagnostic contrast‐enhanced CT or combined FDG‐PET/CT. However, recent research has demonstrated promising benefits of combined FDG‐PET/MRI in oncologic imaging due to the superior soft‐tissue contrast of MRI. The extent of both intrahepatic and extrahepatic disease is...
