FDG-PET/CT sharpens surveillance after colorectal liver metastasis treatment
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Dutch study found that adding metabolic imaging to contrast-enhanced CT improved early detection of local tumor progression after liver ablation or resection, including disease missed by CT alone.
July 30, 2026
Three months after thermal ablation, contrast-enhanced CT (A, B) shows post-treatment changes without clear local progression, while FDG-PET/CECT (C–F) reveals focal uptake suspicious for recurrence.
