Emerging research suggests CT radiation dosing of 50 mSv or greater is associated with higher mortality at two years but nearly half of those patients were alive 10 years later.

While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.

Researchers found that mpMRI was 18 percent more accurate than dual-energy CT (DECT) for T1 staging and 19 percent more accurate for N3 staging of gastric cancer.
