摘要: In this review, the fundamental principles of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and FDG PET/computed (CT) imaging have been described. The basic physics PET instrumentation, radiotracer chemistry, artifacts, as well normal physiological or benign pathological variants, described presented to readers in a lucid manner enable them an easy grasp fundamentals subject. Finally, we outlined current developments quantitative imaging, including dual time point delayed time-of-flight technology partial volume correction, global disease assessment with their potential being incorporated into malignant disorders.
