随着正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)的普及,功能成像已成为评估肿瘤患者存活肿瘤的主要手段。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了这种不断发展的技术的基本原理及其所使用的放射性同位素。回顾了PET-CT的主要临床应用,并强调了该技术的一些局限性。最后,我们提供了对未来可能的发展以及这些发展如何修改当前实践的洞察。
Increasing access to positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has resulted in a shift towards functional imaging, being the primary tool in the assessment of viable tumour in oncology patients. In this review, we discuss the basic principles of this evolving technology and the radio-isotopes it employs. The main clinical applications of PET-CT are reviewed and some of the limitations of the technique are highlighted. Finally, we offer insight into possible future developments and how these modify current practice.
