“…Two recent papers have investigated the use of [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI in patients with PC originating from gynecologic malignancies [ 30 , 31 ]. In 2021, Jonsdottir and colleagues conducted a prospective study to validate the use of [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI compared to DW-MRI alone.…”

“…In their study, [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI demonstrated adequate diagnostic accuracy in identifying patients with a significant tumor burden, achieving a remarkable 100% sensitivity and specificity when using a cut-off PCI of 21. Compared to standalone MR or [ 18 F]FDG PET, the combination of [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI yielded enhanced sensitivity (91.7%) compared with MRI (75%) and [ 18 F]FDG PET (66.7%) [ 31 ].…”

This systematic review, conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, aims to comprehensively assess the current state of the art of imaging modalities for the evaluation of peritoneal carcinomatosis arising from malignant gynecological origins, with a focus on ovarian and endometrial cancers. A systematic search of relevant databases was performed, adhering to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies reporting the use of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), PET/CT, and PET/MRI in the assessment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from gynecological malignancies were included. The review encompasses an overview of selected studies, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each imaging modality in diagnosing and characterizing peritoneal carcinomatosis. Overall, a wide variability in the reported accuracy of different imaging techniques emerges from literature, mainly due to the type of the study, technical issues, and patient characteristics. Although a meta-analysis could not be performed due to a scarcity of data, this systematic review provides valuable insights into the several imaging approaches used in peritoneal carcinomatosis of gynecological origin. The findings aim to inform clinical decision making and guide future research endeavors in this critical aspect of gynecological oncology.
