Imaging of musculoskeletal disorders, including arthritis, infection, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and malignancies, is often limited when using conventional modalities such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), and MR imaging. As a result of recent advances in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) instrumentation, total-body PET/CT offers a longer axial field-of-view, higher geometric sensitivity, and higher spatial resolution compared with standard PET systems. This article discusses the potential applications of total-body PET/CT imaging in the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders.
骨肌系统疾病(包括关节炎、感染、骨质疏松症、肌肉减少症和恶性肿瘤)的影像学检查通常受到限制,常规的影像学方法如 X 线摄影、计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MR 成像)都有其局限性。由于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)仪器的最新进展,与标准 PET 系统相比,全身 PET/CT 提供了更长的轴向视野、更高的几何灵敏度和更高的空间分辨率。本文讨论了全身 PET/CT 成像在骨肌系统疾病评估中的潜在应用。
