Positron emission tomography (PET) has come to the practice of oncology. It is known that F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET is more sensitive for the assessment of treatment response than conventional imaging. In addition, PET has an advantage in the use of quantitative analysis of the study. Nowadays, various PET parameters are adopted in clinical settings. In addition, a wide range of factors has been known to be associated with FDG uptake. Therefore, there has been a need for standardization and harmonization of protocols and PET parameters. We will introduce PET parameters and discuss major issues in this review.
正电子发射断层扫描(PET)已应用于肿瘤学实践。众所周知,F-氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)PET在评估治疗反应方面比传统成像更敏感。此外,PET在研究的定量分析应用方面具有优势。如今,各种PET参数已在临床环境中采用。此外,已知有多种因素与FDG摄取有关。因此,需要对方案和PET参数进行标准化和统一。在本综述中,我们将介绍PET参数并讨论主要问题。
