The emerging roles of functional imaging in ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis

This article reviews the emerging roles of functional imaging in the assessment of peritoneal carcinomatosis in ovarian cancer, focusing on the use of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT), their advantages and shortcomings as well as the added-value over conventional imaging.
