FDG-PET/CT is increasingly being used for staging, restaging, and treatment monitoring for cancer patients. The introduction of a PET/CT system enables both morphological and metabolic imaging to be performed in a single session. Knowledge of the normal physiologic distribution of FDG and an understanding of the clinical indications and limitations of PET/CT enable accurate diagnosis and thus a better level of care for patients.
氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层显像/X线计算机体层成像（FDG-PET/CT）越来越多地用于癌症患者的分期、再分期及治疗监测。PET/CT系统的引入使得形态学和代谢成像能够在同一次检查中完成。了解FDG的正常生理分布以及理解PET/CT的临床适应证和局限性有助于准确诊断，从而为患者提供更好的医疗护理。
