Diagnostic Comparison of PET-magnetic Resonance and PET-CT in Patients With Oncologic Diseases

Diagnostic accuracy of PET/magnetic resonance and PET/CT will be compared concerning primary tumor, regional nodes, metastasis (TNM) staging and therapeutic influence. Workflow scenarios will be evaluated to create imaging protocols which are time efficient and diagnostically accurate.
