It is a non-invasive technique that provides quantitative in vivo assessment of physiological and biological phenomena. PET has found its application in common practice for the management of various cancers.Lung cancer is the most common cause of death for cancer in western countries.This review focuses on radiotracers used for PET scan with particular attention to Non Small Cell Lung Cancer diagnosis, staging, response to treatment and follow-up.
正电子发射断层扫描（PET）是一种核医学成像方法，在过去几年中常用于肿瘤学领域。它是一种非侵入性技术，可对生理和生物现象进行体内定量评估。PET已在各种癌症的常规治疗中得到应用。肺癌是西方国家癌症死亡的最常见原因。本综述重点关注用于PET扫描的放射性示踪剂，尤其关注非小细胞肺癌的诊断、分期、治疗反应和随访。
