Recent advances in diagnostic imaging with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and monoclonal antibody imaging in endocrine tumor evaluation are reviewed. Computed tomography is a mature technology whose role has not changed recently. Magnetic resonance imaging is continuing to advance in scan techniques, scan time reduction, and use of intravenous contrast agents; its future role on a routine basis may allow it to supplant computed tomography in endocrine tumor identification. Monoclonal antibody imaging has not yet proven to be as reliably diagnostic for tumor identification as is computed tomography, but continuing technical advances predict an advancing role for diagnosing endocrine tumors with this modality.
本文综述了计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和单克隆抗体成像在内分泌肿瘤评估中的诊断成像最新进展。计算机断层扫描是一项成熟技术,其作用近来未发生变化。磁共振成像在扫描技术、扫描时间缩短以及静脉造影剂使用方面不断取得进展;其未来在常规检查中的作用可能使其在内分泌肿瘤识别方面取代计算机断层扫描。单克隆抗体成像尚未被证明在肿瘤识别方面能像计算机断层扫描那样可靠地用于诊断,但技术的不断进步预示着这种成像方式在诊断内分泌肿瘤方面将发挥越来越大的作用。
