Abstract
- tients were found to have HCC on follow-up. Thus, the sensitivity and specificity of 18F-FDG-PET were 65.5% and 33.3% respectively. The positive predictive value was 90.5%. The diagnostic accuracy was 62.5%. CONCLUSION: 18F-FDG-PET showed a low accuracy in diagnosis of HCC. Therefore, 18F-FDG-PET has a limited role in a staging and detection of occult HCC.
