Aktueller Stellenwert und Perspektiven der Positronen-Emissions-Tomografie/Computertomografie (PET/CT) in der Diagnostik und Therapie des Lungenkarzinoms

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Übersichtsartikel stellt detailliert die derzeitigen Einsatzgebiete der Positronen-Emissions-Tomografie/Computertomografie (PET/CT) bei dem Management von Lungenkarzinom-Patient*innen dar. Hierbei werden Indikationen, Wertigkeit bei Dignitätsbeurteilung und Stadiierung sowie Nutzen, Limitationen und prognostische Relevanz dieses diagnostischen Hybridverfahrens beleuchtet.

Darüber hinaus bietet diese Publikation einen Ausblick auf neue Radiotracer und mehrschichtige maschinelle Lernverfahren als konsequente Weiterentwicklungen der PET/CT, welche deren diagnostischen, prädiktiven und prognostischen Zusatznutzen zukünftig noch vergrößern wird.

Abstract

This review article presents the current areas of application of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the management of lung cancer patients. Indications, the value in the assessment of tumour detection and staging as well as benefits, limitations and prognostic relevance of this diagnostic hybrid method are presented.

In addition, this publication offers an outlook on new radiotracers and multi-layered machine learning processes as coming developments of PET/CT, which will increase its diagnostic, predictive and prognostic impact in the future.
