Abstract
This article discusses the current and potential issues physicians are facing as PET/CT is integrated into medical practice. A variety of issues related to PET/CT were discussed at the 2004 ARRS annual meeting. Among the conclusions were that both PET and CT portions of a PET/CT scan need to be reviewed for adequate patient care, and that nuclear medicine should not be exempt from current self-referral legislation.
