Abstract:Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.18F-FDG PET-CT imaging-positive rate is low due to a variety of factors affecting the hepatoma cells. But the joint imaging can significantly improve the diagnostic positive rate and provide the basic information for treatment selection and prognosis.PET-CT is better than conventional imaging techniques in the diagnosis and therapy monitoring for metastatic liver cancer.
