目的18氟脱氧葡萄糖（[F-18]-FDG）正电子发射断层显像（PET）在癫痫患者（包括儿童）致痫灶的精确定位中的应用日益广泛。这一国际共识的目的是为癫痫患儿的[F-18]-FDG PET提供指南和具体考虑。方法组成国际性多学科工作组，讨论并批准儿童癫痫患者脑[F-18]-FDG PET/CT指南，包括但不限于临床适应证、患者准备、放射性药物和给药活动、图像采集、图像处理、图像判读、记录和报告，结论该指南是国际上首个针对儿童癫痫患者脑[F-18]-FDG PET/CT检查的共识和实践指南。它将成为临床实践中用于此目的的国际标准。
Purpose Positron emission tomography (PET) with F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F-18]-FDG) has been increasingly applied in precise localization of epileptogenic focus in epilepsy patients, including pediatric patients. The aim of this international consensus is to provide the guideline and specific considerations for [F-18]-FDG PET in pediatric patients affected by epilepsy. Methods An international, multidisciplinary task group is formed, and the guideline for brain [F-18]-FDG PET/CT in pediatric epilepsy patients has been discussed and approved, which include but not limited to the clinical indications, patient preparation, radiopharmaceuticals and administered activities, image acquisition, image processing, image interpretation, documentation and reporting, etc. Conclusion This is the first international consensus and practice guideline for brain [F-18]-FDG PET/CT in pediatric epilepsy patients. It will be an international standard for this purpose in clinical practice.
