A group led by researchers at the University of Hong Kong in China found the approach detected 12% more disease in patients undergoing staging than CT or MRI and resulted in a change in treatment in a significant number of cases. Patients underwent conventional imaging for a median of 26 days prior to dual-tracer PET/CT.
