概括
对头癌的系统成像监测检测到超过40%的复发和转移,通常仅通过临床检查就会错过. 这一审查支持其在治疗后至少两年使用.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 对头癌的治疗后监测通常需要在3-6个月内进行成像.
- 准则经常转向6个月后的临床随访,保留对模两可的发现进行成像.
- 然而,有时建议并实行系统的成像监测.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估常规的长期系统成像监测头癌的实用性,超过最初的3-6个月的治疗后扫描.
- 将系统成像与以症状为导向或临床发现为导向的成像方法进行比较.
主要方法:
- 使用PubMed和谷歌学者进行了系统的文献搜索.
- 通过参考清单确定了其他研究.
- 包括原始研究和审查论文;结果在不同的监测策略中进行了比较.
主要成果:
- 审查了48篇文章,分析了521条记录.
- 在40.9%的病例中,局部复发和/或转移仅通过成像检测.
- 复发或转移性疾病的平均检测时间为11.5个月,超过了最初的扫描期.
- 与其他成像方式相比,PET-CT显示出更高的性能.
结论:
- 显著的证据支持对局部区域高级头癌的系统成像监测.
- 这种监测应在治疗后至少实施一年,最好是两年.
- 目前的成像实践可能没有充分利用其在治疗后头癌症监测中的潜力.

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
