The introduction of new long axial field of view (LAFOV) scanners is a major milestone in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. With these new systems a revolutionary reduction in scan time can be achieved, concurrently lowering tracer dose. Therefore, PET/CT has come within reach for groups of patients in whom PET/CT previously was undesirable. In this case report we discuss the procedure of a continuous bed motion (CBM) total-body [F]FDG PET/CT scan in an intensive care patient. We emphasize the clinical and technical possibilities with this new camera system, a matched clinical protocol, and the added value of a dedicated team.
新型长轴视野(LAFOV)扫描仪的引入是正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)成像的一个重要里程碑。使用这些新系统可实现扫描时间的革命性缩短,同时降低示踪剂剂量。因此,PET/CT对于以前不适合进行PET/CT检查的患者群体来说已触手可及。在本病例报告中,我们讨论了一名重症监护患者进行连续床动(CBM)全身[F]FDG PET/CT扫描的过程。我们强调了这种新相机系统的临床和技术可能性、匹配的临床方案以及专业团队的附加价值。
