In parallel with the expansion of PET imaging to pediatric patients has been the technological development of merging state-of-the-art cross-sectional anatomic information (CT) with functional imaging (PET) into a single modality: PET-CT. Attending to the clinical, scheduling, and medical needs that are unique to imaging children and adolescents can be a challenge, particularly when instituting a single new modality. When that modality bridges two unique, previously independent methods-often previously located in two separate departmental divisions-the details and logistics required to set up a smoothly functioning process can be particularly difficult. This paper focuses on our experience in implementing PET-CT in a tertiary pediatric referral center.
随着正电子发射断层扫描（PET）成像在儿科患者中的应用不断扩大，技术也在发展，即将先进的横断面解剖信息（CT）与功能成像（PET）融合为一种单一模式：PET-CT。满足儿童和青少年成像所特有的临床、日程安排和医疗需求可能是一项挑战，尤其是在引入一种新的单一模式时。当这种模式连接两种独特的、以前独立的方法时（这两种方法以前通常分属于两个不同的部门），建立一个运行顺畅的流程所需的细节和后勤工作可能会特别困难。本文重点介绍了我们在一家三级儿科转诊中心实施PET-CT的经验。
