The value of 18F-FDG positron emission tomography to differentiate benign from malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms: A prospective multicenter study

To assess the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in differentiating between benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas. Malignant or high-risk IPMN require surgical resection but surgery should be avoided in patients with IPMN carrying a low risk of malignancy. 18F-FDG PET has been studied mostly in small, single center, retrospective series. Prospective, non-comparative, multicenter French study. The primary...
