Realization of long axial field-of-view PET technology in the clinic and research environment.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Long axial field-of-view (AFOV) PET-CT instruments have significantly higher sensitivity than conventional PET scanners, allowing for reduced scan time and/or reduced radiotracer dose. The long axial coverage also permits multiorgan dynamic imaging with fine temporal sampling. In this article, we discuss how the technical advantages of long AFOV PET instruments are being realized in the clinic and exploited in research studies. We describe some practical considerations for these systems in the clinic, as well as their benefits beyond the clinic. We consider alternate scanner designs to mitigate the high cost of long AFOV systems currently in use and describe how deep learning is being applied to long AFOV PET studies to reduce image noise, allowing for even shorter scans to minimize motion, aid in dynamic imaging applications, and image generation. We conclude with some ideas on what future developments may be on the horizon for long AFOV PET.
