SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MRI: oncologic and infectious applications and protocol considerations.
Pediatric Radiology 2023 June
Functional imaging is playing an increasingly important role in pediatric radiology. Hybrid imaging techniques utilizing PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography), PET/MRI (positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging), or SPECT/CT (single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography) are now available in nearly every clinical practice. There are an increasing number of indications for the use of functional imaging, including oncologic and infectious indications, and it is essential to select and design the hybrid imaging protocol in order to optimize both the functional and anatomic components of the examination. Optimizing the protocol includes strategies for dose reduction, judicious use of contrast media and diagnostic quality imaging as appropriate, and for the greatest reduction in exposure to ionizing radiation, utilizing PET/MRI, whenever available. This review will provide an overview of hybrid imaging protocol considerations with a focus on oncologic and infectious indications.
