This is an interesting Egyptian study showing that dual time point FDG-PET/CT improves the discrimination between non-invasive and invasive cancers, and provided superior sensitivity for the detection of small cancers and cancers in dense breast.

PET/CT in breast cancer is becoming increasingly used in the western world, and new indications are regularly being found. This may be one of them if validated in another study
