Abstract: PET/CT examinations are general inspections, which utilize different imaging principle to obtain cross-sectional and functional fusion images of the whole body by only one examination. As an important method for diagnosing early stage tumor, PET/CT examinations have some limitations such as poor specificity of small tumor, false-positive, false-negative, image artifacts, large radiation dosage, and expensive price. However, PET/CT would overcome these limitations and be used more widely due to the continuous development of new technology of PET and CT.
