Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the potential of CT texture analysis parameters and metabolic characteristics of melanoma metastases in 18F- FDG PET/CT to predict relevant mutations of tumour cells for targeted therapy in metastatic melanoma patients in correlation with histopathologic specimen. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 66 melanoma patients, examined with contrast-enhanced 18F-FDG PET/CT before scheduled metastasectomy without...
