This review focuses on several aspects of molecular imaging. First, current positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scanner technology and several novel imaging techniques that are being developed are briefly discussed. Next, current clinical indications for (18)F FDG PET and PET/CT that are relevant to the surgical oncologist are discussed. Finally, advances in molecular imaging that may herald the next generation of PET radiotracers beyond (18)F FDG are reviewed.
本综述聚焦于分子成像的几个方面。首先，简要讨论了当前的正电子发射断层扫描（PET）/CT扫描仪技术以及正在研发的几种新型成像技术。接下来，讨论了与外科肿瘤学家相关的（18）F FDG PET和PET/CT目前的临床应用指征。最后，综述了可能预示着超越（18）F FDG的下一代PET放射性示踪剂的分子成像进展。
