目的：日本的核医学技术人员通常在全身成像后进行额外的单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT），伴或不伴计算机断层扫描（CT）。在这项研究中，我们希望确定在日本使用的骨扫描协议，以及目前的临床实践。方法：这项研究是在2017年10月至12月之间进行的。我们创建了一个由日本放射技术学会主办的网络调查。调查问卷包括12个项目的人口统计学的响应者，他们的扫描协议，和成像添加到，或省略，常规protocols.Results：在总数，228合格的回答收集了参与者的平均11.6±8.4年的经验，在核医学检查。所有应答者报告使用常规扫描方案，包括全身成像。然而，只有2%，4%，20%，和14%的应答者还获得单场SPECT，单场SPECT/CT，多场SPECT，和多场SPECT/CT，foreign.CONCLUSION：我们的调查结果表明，在日本的核医学实践开始从平面全身成像与额外的斑点平面图像，以额外的SPECT或SPECT/CT。需要进一步的研究来检查骨造影的最佳方案。
OBJECTIVES: Nuclear medicine technologists in Japan often perform additional single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with or without computed tomography (CT) after whole-body imaging for bone scintigraphy. In this study, we wanted to identify the bone scanning protocols used in Japan, together with the current clinical practices.METHODS: The study was conducted between October and December 2017. We created a web survey that was hosted by the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology. The questionnaire included 12 items regarding the demographics of the responders, their scan protocols, and the imaging added to, or omitted from, routine protocols.RESULTS: In total, 228 eligible responses were collected from participants with a mean of 11.6±8.4 years' experience in nuclear medicine examination. All responders reported using routine scan protocols that included whole-body imaging. However, only 2%, 4%, 20%, and 14% of the responders also acquired single-field SPECT, single-field SPECT/CT, multi-field SPECT, and multi-field SPECT/CT, respectively.CONCLUSION: Our survey results indicate that nuclear medicine practice in Japan is beginning to shift from planar whole-body imaging with additional spot planar images to additional SPECT or SPECT/CT. Further study is required to examine the optimal protocols for bone scintigraphy.
