MR-PET for Staging and Assessment of Operability in Ovarian Cancer - a Feasibility Study

The MR-PET will be performed with the Biograph mMR system (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). This system integrates a 3Tesla MRI and PET scan which makes simultaneous acquisition of whole-body MRI and PET images possible. The Biograph mMR holds the CE mark and was FDA approved in June 2011. The Biograph mMR is intended to be used in the Academical hospita! Maastricht for standard patient care. The radiotracer that will be used is 18F-Iabeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), according to standard PET -protocol.
