The rapid technological advances of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) have introduced many new possibilities and questions as to how best to utilize and perform 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) PET-CT for maximum clinical benefit. The focus of this discussion is the tailoring of PET-CT protocols, emphasizing the incorporation of optimized (diagnostic) CT techniques, for adult thoracic oncologic indications. Many of the protocol strategies described, particularly those involving breath-hold and contrast-enhanced CT, are based on the author's experience in a busy private practice PET-CT center, prior to a recent transition to an academic practice.
正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描（PET-CT）技术的迅速发展带来了许多新的可能性以及关于如何最好地利用2-脱氧-2-[F-18]氟-D-葡萄糖（FDG）PET-CT以实现最大临床效益的问题。本次讨论的重点是针对成人胸部肿瘤适应症定制PET-CT方案，强调纳入优化的（诊断性）CT技术。所描述的许多方案策略，尤其是那些涉及屏气和对比增强CT的策略，是基于作者在一家繁忙的私立PET-CT中心的经验，该中心最近刚刚转型为学术机构。
