Abstract
These preliminary results indicate that PET has increased sensitivity for staging colorectal carcinoma, whereas CT has higher specificity. The predictive value of a positive PET compares favorably with CT. Furthermore, the predictive accuracy for detection of colorectal carcinoma is 83 percent for PET and 56 percent for CT.
