Development, characteristics and clinical application of total body PET/CT -- Comparison of total body PET/CT and conventional PET/CT -- Clinical application of total-body PET/CT fast scan -- Application of total body PET/CT in evaluation of radiotracer biodistribution in human -- Interpretation and application of total-body PET/CT dynamic acquisition information -- Clinical application of low dose total body PET/CT scan -- Clinical application of extra low dose total body PET/CT scan -- Exploration of application technology in total body PET/CT -- Interpretation of the consensus of oncological 18F-FDG total-body PET/CT imaging -- Recommended workflow of total body PET/CT application in clinical.

This book systemically introduces physical properties and clinical applications of total-body PET/CT. Firstly, based on the results of a comparative study between total-body PET/CT and conventional digital PET/CT, the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of rapid scanning are overviewed. Following chapters present the unique value of total-body PET/CT dynamic acquisition in pharmacokinetic research and its potential advantages, feasibility and optimized imaging of half-dose and one-tenth-dose total-body PET/CT scans. In addition, new technologies that are still being explored and perfected, such as gating technology and ultra-low dose CT are also included. It will be a useful reference for nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists who are interested in total-body PET/CT.
