Detection of Recurrence in Patients with Rectal Cancer
 

This study found that PET/CT was better than PET alone at detecting pelvic recurrence of malignancy after Abdominoperineal or Anterior Resection. COMMENT: what this study did NOT show was whether or not hardware fusion was superior to software fusion of PET and CT images. There currently is no good evidence that hardware fusion is superior to software fusion.
