Overview
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging may be used for the staging of merkel cell cancer.
- Other Imaging Findings
2-fluoro-D-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) Positron emission tomography
- Positron emission tomography (PET) may be helpful in the diagnosis of merkel cell cancer.
- PET helps with the following:[1][2][3]
- Staging
- Follow up
- Lymph nodes involvement
- Metastasis
- Responses to therapy
- Residual disease
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of merkel cell cancer.
- Ultrasound helps with the following:[4][5]
- To assess lymphatic drainage
