Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging and 18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the diagnostic accuracy of staging in patients with cholangiocarcinoma

Accurate clinical staging of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has a significant impact on treatment decisions. In this study, we aimed to compare the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) for staging of CCA.We performed comprehensive systematic search in Web of Science (including MEDLINE) and Excerpta Medica Database for relevant...
