¹ All authors: Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong, Block K, 102 Pokfulam Rd., Hong Kong, China.

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to illustrate the spectrum of appearances of peritoneal diseases on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT, show the usefulness of fused FDG PET/CT as a diagnostic tool for the peritoneum, and discuss the pitfalls in FDG PET/CT interpretation of peritoneal disease.

CONCLUSION. Malignant and benign diseases may have peritoneal involvement, which can manifest as various imaging patterns on FDG PET/CT. Awareness of these patterns and of potential interpretation issues is important to optimize diagnostic accuracy.
