Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has changed cancer imaging in the last decade, for better. It can be employed for radiation treatment planning of different cancers with improved accuracy and outcomes as compared to conventional imaging methods. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose remains the most widely used though relatively non-specific cancer imaging PET tracer. A wide array of newer PET radiopharmaceuticals has been developed for targeted imaging of different cancers. PET-CT with such new PET radiopharmaceuticals has also been used for radiotherapy planning with encouraging results. In the present review we have briefly outlined the role of PET-CT with newer radiopharmaceuticals for radiotherapy planning and briefly reviewed the available literature in this regard.
正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)在过去十年中改变了癌症影像学,使其变得更好。与传统成像方法相比,它可以用于不同癌症的放射治疗计划,提高准确性和结果。(18)F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖仍然是最广泛使用的但相对非特异性的癌症成像 PET 示踪剂。已经开发了广泛的新型 PET 放射性药物,用于不同癌症的靶向成像。具有这些新型 PET 放射性药物的 PET-CT 也已用于放射治疗计划,并取得了令人鼓舞的结果。在本综述中,我们简要概述了新型放射性药物 PET-CT 在放射治疗计划中的作用,并简要回顾了这方面的现有文献。
