Abstract
The introduction of computer software which enables assessment of various metabolic parameters has added value to the imaging, diagnosis and prognosis of oesophageal carcinoma (OC). Positron emission tomography/Computed tomography (PET/CT) is an imaging modality used for monitoring and follow-up of patients with flourodeoxyglucose (FDG) avid lesions in OC. The association of HIV with OC remains controversial, however in Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN), where the incidence of this infection is high, the role of PET/CT in predicting the prognostic outcome of OC is important and may provide further information that may alter treatment.
