This article reviews the evolution of whole-body imaging, discussing the history and development of radiography, nuclear medicine, computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), combined PET-CT, and magnetic resonance imaging. The obstacles hindering progress toward whole-body imaging using each of these modalities, and the technical advances that were developed to overcome them, are reviewed. The effectiveness and the limitations of whole-body imaging with each of these techniques are also briefly discussed.
本文回顾了全身成像的发展历程,探讨了放射摄影、核医学、计算机断层扫描(CT)、正电子发射断层扫描(PET)、PET-CT联合成像以及磁共振成像的历史与发展。文中还回顾了使用这些成像方式在全身成像方面取得进展所面临的障碍,以及为克服这些障碍而研发的技术进步。同时,也简要讨论了这些技术用于全身成像的有效性和局限性。
