Gestational Trophoblastic Disease - 05/11/13
, Neeraj Lalwani, MD b, Christine O. Menias, MD cRésumé |
Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and management of gestational trophoblastic disease. Ultrasonography is the initial investigation of choice for the diagnosis.

Chest radiography is the recommended initial radiographic staging modality, and chest computed tomography is performed if the radiograph is negative. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography has been shown to be useful in assessing the active or viable sites of metastases, thereby determining the need for tumor resectability in chemoresistant disease.
