内容紹介
乳房専用PET装置は、乳房専用の近接撮像型PET装置である。その高い空間分解により、これまでの全身PET検査では不可能であった高解像度の画像を得ることが可能となる。この乳房専用PETは微小乳癌の検出をはじめ、様々な臨床応用への可能性が期待されている。本稿では、乳房専用PETの現状と今後の展望について解説する。
It is difficult to obtain detailed images of the breast by perfo rming whole-body(WB)18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET). Dedicated breast PET(DbPET)developed using a new technology enables detailed high-resolution images of the breast to be obtained. In comparison to WBPET, DbPET can detect small breast cancer and has shown good performance results in clinical settings. In this review, the present state and prospects of DbPET have been described.
