: Management of peritoneal surface malignancies is currently entrusted to a multimodality approach. Computed tomography (CT) scan remains the first imaging method despite the limitations in identifying small implants in critical regions. Magnetic resonance imaging is usually recommended for its performance in small implants, mesentery, and small bowel assessment. Positron emission tomography/CT plays an important role only in pseudomyxoma peritonei. Thus, becoming aware of the imaging strengths and drawbacks and having a multimodality imaging approach might be the best option for the patients.
