Accurate staging and response assessment is vital in the management of childhood malignancies. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (FDG PET-CT) provides complimentary anatomical and functional information. Oncological applications of FDG PET-CT are not as well-established within the paediatric population compared to adults. This article will comprehensively review established oncological PET-CT applications in paediatric oncology and provide an overview of emerging and future developments in this domain.
准确的分期和疗效评估对于儿童恶性肿瘤的治疗至关重要。氟-18氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG PET-CT)可提供补充性的解剖学和功能信息。与成人相比,FDG PET-CT在儿科人群中的肿瘤学应用尚未得到充分确立。本文将全面回顾FDG PET-CT在儿科肿瘤学中已确立的肿瘤学应用,并概述该领域的新兴和未来发展情况。
