摘要:	PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of positron emission tomography (PET) using 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) to detect recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings are indeterminate. PATIENTS AND METHODS: After radiotherapy, 28 NPC patients with indeterminate MRI findings were included. MRI, FDG-PET, and biopsy were performed at least 4 months after radiotherapy and within 1 week. The final results were based on histopathologic findings and a clinical follow-up of at least 6 months. RESULTS: For detecting recurrent NPC in indeterminate MRI findings, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of FDG-PET were 100.0%, 92.9% and 96.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, we can recommend FDG-PET for detecting recurrent NPC when MRI findings are indeterminate.
