¹⁸F-FDG PET/MR imaging for evaluating of obstructive jaundice: Chinese expert consensus

The cause of obstructive jaundice is usually complex which renders its differential diagnosis and lesion localization challenging in clinical practice. Integrated positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) offers complementary information from PET and MR in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice and is becoming widely adopted in clinical setting. While preserving its diagnostic accuracy, it is important to standardize and streamline the clinical scan protocol of PET/MR in evaluating obstructive jaundice. Based on literature review and experience of large number of clinical cases from the author group, this paper reports an expert consensus on imaging protocol optimization and case interpretation template standardization.
