摘要: PET(正电子发射断层)显像在区分良恶性肿瘤、检测肿瘤转移与复发、诊断冠状动脉硬化心脏病(CAD)时,具有高度特异性和敏感性,以及随之而来的高度准确性,但其用于这些疾病的诊断时并未取代现代的检查方法,究期原因是PET成本昂贵。那么,PET在临床应用上因为成本昂贵就没有可行性了吗?对PET的成本-利润进行分析表明,PET方法既经济又准确,必将在上述疟病的使用上取代现行的检查方法。Abstract: Differentiating benign tumor from malignancy,diagnosing the metastasis and recurrence of cancer and coronary artery disease (CAD),PET possesses high specificity and sensitivity,and the high accuracy. But the check methods being used aren't replaced by it.Because the cost of PET is too expensive.Is there no feasibility in using PET like that? The analyses for the cost-effectiveness of PET to expatiat on wich PET is economical and accurate. So it will substitute for the present check methods.
