Because PET-CT belongs to self-funded medical expenses, only commercial medical insurance that can guarantee self-funded medical expenses can be reimbursed, otherwise it will not be reimbursed. PET-CT is expensive, generally ranging from 8000 to 1 000. The indications for examination are mainly in three aspects: first, early tumor is suspected; The second is the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors; The third is how to observe the effect after tumor treatment.
Therefore, the indications of PET-CT are relatively narrow, and it is not suitable for popularization and application in the general population.
