Place and Duration of the Study: PET/CT and Cyclotron Department, Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging,Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jul 2019 to Mar 2021.

In addition, the frequency of various cancers and types of scans were determined. Scanning has been performe using GE Health care MiDR PET-CT Scanner. Results: A total of 1573 patients were included in the study. Male patients were 927(58.93%), and female patients were 646(41.06%). The most common diseases encountered were lymphoma 623(39.6%), breast cancer 193(12.2%), lung cancer 12(7.6%), colorectal cancer 88(5.5%) and unknown primary 84(5.3%). Amongst lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was the most common 276(44.3%), followed by Hodgkin’s lymphoma 267(42.8%). Conclusion: F-18 FDG PET/CT hybrid imaging is an important modality and can significantly alter patient management plans. Lymphomas were the most common disease in our spectrum, followed by cancers of the breast, lungs, colon-rectum and unknown primary cases, which can be managed well by PET/CT’s routine utilization.
