Summary
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)is the most frequent primitive tumour of the liver.
Recently, several research studies reported that 11C-choline PET has shown a high detection
rate of well differentiated HCC, which is an early stage of primary liver cancer. The aim of
this study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 11C-choline PET-CT to
detect HCC in cirrhotic or non cirrhotic patients.
