COVID-19 is the viral infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. Patients with cancer have a higher risk to acquire the infection and worse prognosis as they have to attend more medical visits in healthcare institutions, receive medical and surgical treatments, and be subjected to diagnostic studies such as PET/CT in nuclear medicine services where the infection may be an incidental finding. We present here F18-FDG PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose), images with findings of COVID-19 from patients with different oncological conditions but no respiratory symptoms.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的病毒感染,世界卫生组织(WHO)宣布其为大流行病。癌症患者感染风险更高,预后更差,因为他们必须在医疗机构进行更多次就诊、接受药物和手术治疗,并接受核医学服务中的PET/CT等诊断检查,而在这些检查中感染可能是偶然发现。我们在此展示F18-FDG PET/CT(正电子发射断层扫描和计算机断层扫描,使用2-脱氧-2-[氟-18]氟-D-葡萄糖),这些图像来自患有不同肿瘤疾病但无呼吸道症状的COVID-19患者的检查结果。
