title: The Roles of Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/Computed Tomography in Ovarian Cancer: Diagnosis, Assessing Response, and Detecting Recurrence.
abstract: The potential roles of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in ovarian cancer include noninvasive characterization of an ovarian mass, staging, and treatment planning. This article assesses these roles for predicting and monitoring response to treatment, restaging, and early diagnosis of recurrence.
