Overview
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging may be used for the staging of Merkel cell cancer.
Other Imaging Findings
2-fluoro-D-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) Positron emission tomography
- Positron emission tomography (PET) may be helpful in the diagnosis of merkel cell cancer. PET helps with the following:[1]
- Staging
- Follow up
- Lymph nodes involvement
- Metastasis
- Responses to therapy
- Residual disease
