title: Evolving role of positron emission tomography (PET) in urological malignancy.
abstract: We present a review on the increasing indications for the use of positron emission tomography (PET) in uro-oncology. In this review we describe the details of the different types of PET scans, indications for requesting PET scans in specific urological malignancy and the interpretation of the results.
