摘要

Background [F-18]FDG imaging on total-body PET/CT (TB PET/CT) scanners, with improved sensitivity, offers new potentials for cancer diagnosis, staging, and radiation treatment planning. This consensus provides the protocols for clinical practices with a goal of paving the way for future studies with the total-body scanners in oncological [F-18]FDG TB PET/CT imaging. Methods The consensus was summarized based on the published guidelines and peer-reviewed articles of TB PET/CT in the literature, along with the opinions of the experts from major research institutions with a total of 40,000 cases performed on the TB PET/CT scanners. Results This consensus describes the protocols for routine and dynamic [F-18]FDG TB PET/CT scanning focusing on the reduction of imaging acquisition time and FDG injected activity, which may serve as a reference for research and clinic oncological PET/CT studies. Conclusion This expert consensus focuses on the reduction of acquisition time and FDG injected activity with a TB PET/CT scanner, which may improve the patient throughput or reduce the radiation exposure in daily clinical oncologic imaging.
