      ab: Purpose: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging has been widely used in clinical practice. Long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) systems have enhanced clinical practice by leveraging their technological advantages and have emerged as the new state-of-the-art PET imaging modalities. A consensus was conducted to explore expert views in this emerging field to comprehensively elucidate the proposed workflow in LAFOV PET/CT examinations and highlight the potential challenges inherent in the workflow. Methods: A multidisciplinary task group formed by 28 experts from six countries over the world discussed and approved the consensus based on the published guidelines, peer-reviewed articles of LAFOV PET/CT, and the collective experience from clinical practice. This consensus focuses on the workflow that allows for a broader range of imaging protocols of LAFOV PET/CT, catering to diverse patient needs and in line with precision medicine principles. Results: This consensus describes the workflows and imaging protocols of LAFOV PET/CT for various imaging scenarios including routine static imaging, dynamic imaging, low-activity imaging, fast imaging, prolonged imaging, delayed imaging, and dual-tracer imaging. In addition, imaging reconstruction and reviewing specific to LAFOV PET/CT imaging, as well as the main challenges facing installation and application of LAFOV PET/CT scanner were also summarized. Conclusion: This consensus summarized the various imaging workflow, imaging protocol, and challenges of LAFOV PET/CT imaging, aiming to enhance the clinical and research applications of these scanners.
