Core Tip	Position emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a useful modality in the detection of pancreatic cancer, while its use in staging is limited by the lack of enhanced CT scan and a relatively poor sensitivity in detecting metastatic lymph nodes. It has the advantage in monitoring metabolic response, making it optimal in evaluation of different kinds of treatment and also in detecting suspected recurrence. The correlation between Standardized Uptake Value and prognosis remains controversial. Many efforts have been made to improve the diagnostic efficacy of PET/CT.
