Abstract
Both hybrid imaging techniques provide a comparable diagnostic ability for detection of primary cancer and metastases in patients with CUP, with comparably high lesion conspicuity and diagnostic confidence, offering superior assessment of cervical lesions in PET/MRI and potentially of pulmonary lesions in PET/CT. Furthermore, due to the significantly lower dose of ionizing radiation, PET/MRI may serve as a powerful alternative to PET/CT, particularly for therapy monitoring and/or surveillance considering the long-term cumulative dose.
