摘要：
PET/CT is useful for investigation of neutropenic fever (NF) and potential invasive fungal infection (IFI) in those with hematological malignancies (HM). An online survey evaluating the utility and current practices regarding PET/CT scanning for investigation of NF was distributed to infectious diseases (ID) clinicians and hematologists via email lists hosted by key professional bodies. One-hundred and forty-five clinicians responded (120 ID; 25 hematologists). Access to PET/CT was fair but timeliness of investigation was limited (within 3?days in 35% and 46% of ID and hematology respondents, respectively). Among those with experience with PET/CT for infection (n?=?109), 40% had utilized PET/CT for prolonged NF and 20% for diagnosing IFI. The majority of respondents indicated the desire to utilize PET/CT more frequently for infection indications. There is a strong desire among surveyed Australian clinicians to use PET/CT for prolonged NF and potential IFI. However, access to PET/CT is a current barrier to uptake.
