Configuration and type-selection of PET/CT and PET/MR equipment during the period of National 14th Five-Year Plan / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the configuration conditions and type-selections of positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT)and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance(PET/MR)system under the national new policies during the 14th Five-Year Plan period,so as to provide references for configuration and type-selection of PET/CT and PET/MR equipment of medical institutions.Methods:According to the management polices of relevant configurations of PET/CT and PET/MR,which included configuration licensing,use management and configuration plan,and which were issued by China 14th Five-Year Plan,as well as the development trend and characteristics of PET/CT and PET/MR new techniques,the configuration conditions and type-selection plan of PET/CT and PET/MR equipment were analyzed.Results:Under the new polices during national 14th Five-Year Plan,medical institutions should configure PET/CT and PET/MR depended on the condition of institutions,personnel condition,work basis,the supporting facilities and other conditions,and should select the type of PET/CT and PET/MR which can meet the requirements of medical institutions depended on the technique parameters and performance indicators of PET/CT and PET/MR.Conclusions:Since the 14th Five-Year Plan,there were significant changes in the new policies related to the configurations of PET/CT and PET/MR compared to previous policies.The medical institutions should apply configurations and use PET/CT and PET/MR as new requirement,and configure the PET/CT and PET/MR equipment and conduct type-selection of them as various requirements of each institution.
