Though more accurate compared to ultrasound for evaluating the axillary lymph node status FDG-PET/CT is only as sensitive as ultrasound when it comes to the detection of axillary lymph node metastases. Due to the low sensitivity FDG-PET/CT cannot act as a substitute for Sentinel lymph node biopsy. FDG-PET/CT is able to detect previously unknown locoregional extra-axillary lymph node metastases.
