ABSTRACT
@#Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner is an irreplaceable instrument in clinical diagnosis. The exposure dose that a patient receives is the sum of the doses caused by PET and CT examination. This study discussed the exposure dose level that a patient received during PET/CT examination according to the research data. Like other radiological diagnostic methods, PET/CT examination brings benefits outweighing its radiation risk. It is not advisable to exaggerate or ignore the exposure dose. The patient’s exposure dose caused by PET/CT examination should be controlled as much as possible under the premise of meeting clinical needs.
