Abstract:
Dual-tracer PET imaging can provide more comprehensive clinical information for disease diagnosis. How to achieve dual-tracer imaging through single imaging session is one of the hot topics in the field of nuclear medicine. The key issues in achieving dual-tracer imaging with a single scan is the accurate separation of single-tracer information from the mixed tracer signal. In the last two decades, separation methods for different tracers have been proposed, and the injection interval between two tracers was reduced. This paper summarizes recent dual-tracer separation methods. The basic principles, features and advantages of separation methods are analyzed. Besides, the outlook on the future development of dual-tracer separation is also discussed in the present review.
