根據一項最新研究顯示，正電子發射計算機輔助X線斷層攝影術，與CT或者PET相比較，在檢測復發卵巢癌的準確程度更高、更加精確。

在該研究中，Massachusetts總醫院(Boston, MA, USA)的研究人員復習了54例CT、PET檢查患者，和53例PET-CT掃描檢查患者的資料。結果發現PET-CT的準確性(49/53, 92%)比CT  (44/53, 83%)和PET(41/53, 77%)更高。
 
PET-CT More Accurately Detects Ovarian Cancer Recurrence
 
The accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer is high, more accurate even than either CT or PET alone, according to a new study.

For the study, the researchers, from Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA, USA), reviewed 54 body CT, PET, and PET-CT scans on 53 patients with ovarian cancer who were being examined for tumor recurrence. The researchers discovered that PET-CT demonstrated an improved accuracy (49/53, 92%) over CT alone (44/53, 83%) and over PET alone (41/53, 77%).
