Abstract:
Quantitative SPECT-CT is a modality of growing importance with initial developments in post radionuclide therapy dosimetry, and more recent expansion into bone, cardiac and brain imaging together with the concept of theranostics more generally. The aim of this document is to provide guidelines for nuclear medicine departments setting up and developing their quantitative SPECT-CT service with guidance on protocols, harmonisation and clinical use cases.
These practice guidelines were written by members of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine Physics, Dosimetry, Oncology and Bone committees representing the current major stakeholders in Quantitative SPECT-CT. The guidelines have also been reviewed and approved by all EANM committees and have been endorsed by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine.
The present practice guidelines will help practitioners, scientists and researchers perform high-quality quantitative SPECT-CT and will provide a framework for the continuing development of quantitative SPECT-CT as an established modality.
摘要:
目的:随着放射性核素治疗后剂量学的初步发展,定量SPECT-CT是一种越来越重要的方式,以及最近向骨骼的扩张,心脏和大脑成像以及更广泛的治疗方法的概念。本文件的目的是为核医学部门建立和发展其定量SPECT-CT服务提供指导,并提供有关协议的指导,协调和临床用例。
方法:这些实践指南由欧洲核医学物理协会的成员撰写,剂量测定,代表定量SPECT-CT当前主要利益相关者的肿瘤学和骨骼委员会。该指南也得到了所有EANM委员会的审查和批准,并得到了欧洲核医学协会的认可。
结论:本实践指南将帮助从业者,科学家和研究人员进行高质量的定量SPECT-CT,并将为持续发展定量SPECT-CT作为既定模式提供框架。
