CT Perfusion and MRI Perfusion in Solid Tumors
Conditions
Brief summary
Diagnostic comparison between PET/CT and PET/MRI with integrated perfusion measurement in CT and MR. Study aim is to gain knowledge about additional value of CT perfusion and MR perfusion in solid tumors concerning tumor physiology, diagnostic accuracy and possibly prognostic.
