Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, often because most pancreatic neoplasms are found to be unresectable at diagnosis. Early staging of the tumor process can change the tactics of treatment and affect the survival of patients. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of pancreatic cancer and the role of modern imaging in its diagnosis with an emphasis on PET/CT with a various radiopharmaceuticals.

We tested the hypothesis that proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) can be used as a supportive diagnostic tool to differentiate clinically stable brain tumors from those progressing as a result of either low-to-high grade malignant transformation or of post-therapeutic recurrence. Twenty-seven patients with histologically verified cerebral gliomas were studied repeatedly with 1H-MRSI over a period of 3.5 years. At the time of each 1H-MRSI study, clinical examination, MRI, positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and biopsy findings (when available) were used to categorize each patient as being either «stable» or «progressive». Measures of the between-studies percent changes in the choline 1H-MRSI signal intensity, obtained without knowledge of the clinical categorization, segregated the groups with a high degree of statistical significance. All progressive cases showed a between-studies choline signal increase of more than 45%, while all stable cases showed an elevation of less than 35%, no change, or even a decreased signal. We conclude that increased choline coincides with malignant degeneration of cerebral gliomas, and therefore, may possibly be used as a supportive indicator of malignant degeneration of these neoplasms.
