Abstract Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) is an advanced imaging technique that combines metabolic and anatomical information, enhancing the diagnostic process in oncology. This modality is particularly valuable in the surveillance of breast cancer patients after surgery, focusing on detecting residual disease, assessing treatment efficacy, and monitoring for recurrence. Unlike traditional imaging methods such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, which primarily offer morphological insights, PET-CT provides a detailed view of metabolic changes at the molecular level. This ability to detect early metabolic alterations before anatomical changes occur allows for the early identification of residual cancer cells and signs of recurrence. |
