This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computerized tomography ( 18 FDG-PET/CT) compared to whole body (WB) magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with background body signal suppression (MR/DWIBS) in lesions detection in patients with recurrent breast cancer.
