Long axial field of view (LAFOV) PET/CT is redefining imaging by combining ultrafast whole-body capture with high precision through innovation in detector sensitivity, axial resolution, and real-time data processing. This enables unprecedented imaging accuracy and diagnostic speed. Patient-friendly protocols are feasible in high-throughput clinical settings, reducing imaging time without a compromise in diagnostic quality. Novel opportunities, ranging from ultra-short dynamic imaging studies to same-day multi-tracer imaging, are designed to enhance diagnostic insight and operational efficiency, and may be potentially applied in future in everyday practice for comprehensive and rapid patient assessments.
