Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) has a growing role in the imaging of many cancers. As our experience has grown over the past number of years so has our understanding for which cancers it is particularly useful. The value of PET/CT at each stage of the cancer journey is different for each cancer. This review attempts to tease out the role of PET/CT in the common cancers with particular emphasis on where it is the imaging investigation of choice.
正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/计算机断层扫描(CT)在许多癌症的成像中发挥着越来越重要的作用。在过去几年里,随着我们经验的积累,我们对它在哪些癌症中特别有用的理解也在加深。对于每种癌症,PET/CT在癌症诊疗过程各阶段的价值有所不同。本综述试图梳理出PET/CT在常见癌症中的作用,特别强调其作为首选成像检查的情况。
