Online published: 2013-10-31
Objective To investigate the clinical application of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computerized tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in staging and restaging of Wilms' tumor. Methods The imaging data of 18F-FDG-PET/CT of 26 children with Wilms' tumor were retrospectively analysed, and the specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of PET/CT in staging of Wilms' tumor were calculated. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of PET/CT in staging of Wilms' tumor were 94.6%, 70.7%, 85.4%, 87.9%, and 86.1%, respectively. Conclusion 18F-FDG-PET/CT has definite value in staging and restaging of Wilms tumor.
