Abstract
$^{18}F-FDG$ PET showed a high sensitivity and specificity in the initial staging of malignant melanoma, and it also predicted the prognosis correctly. In addition, it had a higher sensitivity and specificity in the detection of recurrence and restaging than conventional imaging modalities. Meanwhile, there's less clinical evidence to support the use of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET in the response evaluation for chemotherapy and the diagnosis/differential diagnosis of malignant melanoma.
