Overview

Positron emission tomography (PET) scan is useful in cases where the liposarcoma is firm, deep, and has a size greater than 3 cm. PET scan may also help evaluate the grade and prognosis of the tumor, as well as its shrinkage following chemotherapy.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is useful to evaluate cases of liposarcoma, especially when the tumor is firm, deep, and has a size greater than 3 cm.^[1]

It can provide information by identifying different and specific enhancement patterns.^[2]
