This article provides an overview of the primary considerations of positron emission tomography-computed tomographic (PET-CT) workflows specifically related to patient and image data management in radiation therapy (RT) planning and therapy response assessment. PET-CT has become increasingly integral to the RT planning and therapy response assessment. There are numerous workflow challenges related to integrating PET-CT in the framework of RT planning and therapy assessment. For PET-CT scan used for RT planning, accurate patient positioning and scan registration with the simulation is critical. For therapy assessment PET-CT scans, consistency in patient preparation, scanning and image reconstruction parameters, and image analysis are critical.
本文概述了正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描（PET-CT）工作流程的主要注意事项，这些注意事项特别涉及放射治疗（RT）计划和治疗反应评估中的患者及图像数据管理。PET-CT在RT计划和治疗反应评估中变得越来越不可或缺。在将PET-CT整合到RT计划和治疗评估框架中时，存在许多工作流程方面的挑战。对于用于RT计划的PET-CT扫描，准确的患者定位以及与模拟的扫描配准至关重要。对于治疗评估PET-CT扫描，患者准备、扫描和图像重建参数以及图像分析的一致性至关重要。
