The use of PET/PET-CT is a rapidly growing area of imaging and research in the care of children. Until recently, diagnostic imaging methods have provided either anatomical or functional assessment. The development of fused imaging modalities, such as PET-CT or PET-MRI, now provides the opportunity for simultaneously providing both anatomical and functional or physiological assessment. This review will discuss current established uses of PET-CT, possible uses and potential research investigations in the use of this modality in the pediatric population. The focus of this paper will be its use in children being treated for non-central nervous system and non-cardiac disorders.
正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/正电子发射断层扫描计算机断层成像(PET-CT)在儿科患者的诊疗中是一种快速发展的影像学方法和研究领域。直到最近,诊断成像方法提供的都是解剖学或功能评估。融合成像方式的发展,如 PET-CT 或 PET-MRI,现在提供了同时提供解剖学和功能或生理学评估的机会。本综述将讨论目前在儿科患者中使用 PET-CT 的既定用途、可能的用途和这种方式的潜在研究调查。本文的重点将是其在治疗非中枢神经系统和非心脏疾病的儿童中的应用。
