- Abstract:
- The primary objective is to examine if can the Time-of-Flight (TOF) reconstruction algorithm brings a diagnostic benefit in 18F-FDG PET/CT compared to standard 18F-FDG PET/CT (without TOF) in the evaluation of histologically confirmed benign pancreatic lesions. The secondary objectives include evaluating TOF in 18F-FDG PET/CT in comparison with standard imaging without TOF particularly for pancreatic lesions smaller than 3 cm and the analysis of the correlation between the maximum tracer uptake (SUVmax) and specific laboratory parameters (leukocytes, CRP, amylase, lipase and LDH).
