Can Metabolic Imaging Differentiate Between Benign and Malignant Tumors?
Yes, metabolic imaging can differentiate between benign and malignant tumors to some extent. Malignant tumors generally show higher metabolic activity compared to benign ones. However, it's important to note that not all benign tumors have low metabolic activity, and not all malignant tumors have high activity. Hence, metabolic imaging is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods for accurate differentiation.
