There have been a number of major advances in imaging technology in recent years. Here we discuss in detail multislice CT and PET, since these are the two modalities generating the most interest in cancer imaging, but which also have the potential for significantly increasing the radiation burden in the paediatric population. In addition, we focus on the implications of the new Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) guidelines, which describe a significant new method of tumour size measurement.
近年来，成像技术取得了多项重大进展。在此，我们将详细讨论多层螺旋CT和正电子发射断层显像（PET），因为这两种模式在癌症成像中引发了最多关注，但它们也有可能显著增加儿科人群的辐射负担。此外，我们将重点关注新的实体瘤疗效评价标准（RECIST）指南的影响，该指南描述了一种重要的肿瘤大小测量新方法。
