In the current diagnostic paradigm, the substantial physical sensitivity gain is the main advantage of total-body (TB) PET/computed tomography (CT). Therefore, it is up to the imaging community to tailor protocols that take advantage of this unique innovation as it relates to the needs of the pediatric population. However, the paradigm-shifting promise of TB-PET/CT lies in its capability to perform dynamic, delayed, and low-dose imaging, which have the potential to vastly increase the range of diseases and disorders that can be investigated or managed using molecular imaging.
在当前的诊断模式中,全身(TB)PET/计算机断层扫描(CT)的显著物理灵敏度增益是其主要优势。因此,如何制定充分利用这一独特创新的协议取决于成像界,这与儿科人群的需求有关。然而,TB-PET/CT 带来的范式转变的承诺在于其进行动态、延迟和低剂量成像的能力,这有可能极大地增加可以使用分子成像进行研究或管理的疾病和病症的范围。
