Abstract

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) has become the mainstay imaging modality for evaluating oncology patients with certain cancers. The most common FDG PET/CT applications include staging/restaging, assessing response to therapy and detecting tumor recurrence. It is important to be aware of potential pitfalls and technical artifacts on PET/CT in the chest and abdomen to ensure accurate interpretation, avoid unnecessary intervention and optimize patient care.

胸部和腹部 PET/CT 的陷阱。

使用[18 F]-氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖（FDG）的正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）已成为评估某些癌症患者的主要成像方式。最常见的 FDG PET/CT 应用包括分期/复查、评估治疗反应和检测肿瘤复发。重要的是要了解胸部和腹部 PET/CT 的潜在缺陷和技术伪影，以确保准确判读、避免不必要的干预和优化患者护理。
