In terms of report, I'm showing you my report.
0:04
This is what I use. But there's different styles
0:07
and there are many options.
0:10
Uh, so you, you can tailor your report
0:13
to whatever you feel comfortable.
0:15
And this is just an example,
0:17
but, um, as you can see here, this is a report
0:19
for an FDG pet.
0:21
And these would change in
0:23
for every different tracer that I've read.
0:27
I always include in the history, the type of cancer
0:29
and treatment details as I mentioned earlier.
0:32
And I will always add, if this is an initial study
0:36
or this is for a follow up
0:38
or subsequent treatment strategy, it's important
0:41
to add the dose, uh, of your tracer.
0:44
And here is where I basically put
0:46
that all the technique information, the injection side,
0:48
the glucose level, if it's, um, FDG, the time
0:52
between the injection and imaging,
0:56
and what's the coverage of the pet?
0:59
Does it go from, in this case, the base
1:02
of the skull to mid-thigh?
1:03
Or is it the whole body?
1:05
Some places add the mean liver, SUV
1:09
to have a reference point.
1:11
But, you know, this is variable
1:13
and I don't think there's a, a right or wrong answer.
1:17
I will list the comparison studies that I have of any kind,
1:21
and then I divide my report in head
1:24
and neck, chest, abdomen, and then musculoskeletal system.
1:29
I will report obviously the areas of abnormal
1:32
tracer uptake in each organ system.
1:36
And also I will mention the incidental findings on the
1:39
CT portion of the study.
1:41
We had mentioned on prior videos
1:43
that even though the CT is a low dose non-diagnostic, it,
1:48
it actually is pretty good and we can see things and, and
1:53
therefore this should be included in your report.
