Methods  The literatures about 18F-FDG PET scanning in diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of large intestine in recent years were reviewed.
Results  18F-FDG PET scanning is superior to CT and MRI in identificating carcinoma of large intestine recurrence, metastasis in the early stage after operation and staging carcinoma of large intestine.
Conclusion  18F-FDG PET scanning may be one of the accessory examinations in carcinoma of large intestine and may be helpful for the choice of treatment.
