Evaluation of a dog with inflammatory mammary carcinoma using 18F‐2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐d‐glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography

Abstract

Abstract Inflammatory mammary carcinoma is known to be aggressive, which makes thorough evaluation of the severity of tumour infiltration and metastasis important in determining a recommended treatment course. This case report describes the use of 18F‐2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐d‐glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for evaluating the invasiveness and metastasis of inflammatory mammary carcinoma in a dog.
