Zusammenfassung

Im folgenden Artikel werden die klinischen und technischen Grundlagen für das Staging von Tumoren des Verdauungstrakts erörtert. Die wichtigsten Indikationen sowie Stärken und Schwächen der einzelnen bildgebenden Verfahren werden diskutiert. Dabei wird auch auf zukünftige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten innovativer bildgebender Techniken im Rahmen des Primärstagings und auch zur Beurteilung des Therapieerfolgs eingegangen, z. B. die PET und die MRT.

Abstract

In this article, the clinical and technical background for staging of gastrointestinal tumors will be discussed. The indications of the different imaging modalities as well as their strengths and weaknesses will be explained. One focus will also be on the perspectives of innovative techniques for primary staging of gastrointestinal tumors and response evaluation during therapy, like PET and MRI.

Key words

Staging - imaging modalities - PET - MRI
