With the routine availability of PET/CT imaging for oncologic purposes, there has been renewed interest in and acceptance of cardiac and neurologic applications of PET/CT. As our understanding of the pathophysiology underlying various pediatric heart diseases has improved, there has been a parallel advance in imaging modalities. Cardiac MR imaging and cardiac PET continue to improve in the pediatric domain. Molecular imaging holds promise to provide a more robust assessment of the cardiac pathophysiology in a 1-stop setting with less radiation exposure to the patient, an important consideration for the pediatric patient population.
随着 PET/CT 成像在肿瘤学方面的常规应用,人们对其在心脏和神经系统中的应用又产生了新的兴趣并予以接受。随着我们对各种儿科心脏病的病理生理学的认识的提高,成像方式也得到了相应的发展。心脏磁共振成像和心脏 PET 在儿科领域仍在不断改进。分子成像有望在一次检查中提供更全面的心脏病理生理学评估,同时减少对患者的辐射暴露,这对儿科患者群体来说是一个重要的考虑因素。
