Positron emission tomography (PET) is a well-established and integral component of multimodality imaging in oncology. However, the expanded use of PET in oncological and also non-oncological imaging (such as in assessing inflammatory conditions) has identified more lesions or tumors at unsuspected locations, such as in the large bowel during examination of patients not known to have colorectal disease. We review the clinical significance of colon lesions that were discovered incidentally by PET imaging and management strategies for gastroenterologists.
正电子发射断层扫描（PET）是肿瘤学多模态成像中一种成熟且不可或缺的组成部分。然而，PET 在肿瘤学和非肿瘤学成像中的广泛应用（如在评估炎症性疾病中）已经在意想不到的部位发现了更多的病变或肿瘤，例如在大肠中，在检查未知患有结直肠疾病的患者时。我们回顾了 PET 成像偶然发现的结肠病变的临床意义以及胃肠病学家的管理策略。
