From PET detectors to PET scanners
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2003This review describes the properties of available and emerging radiation detector and read-out technologies and discusses how they may affect PET scanner performance. After a general introduction, there is a section in which the physical properties of several different detector scintillators are compared.

Fundamentals of PET and PET/CT imaging
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011In this review, the fundamental principles of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and FDG PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging have been described. The basic physics of PET instrumentation, radiotracer chemistry, and the artifacts, as well as normal physiological or benign pathological variants, have been described and presented

PET positive, PET negative, or PET peeve?
Blood, 2010In this issue of Blood , Horning and colleagues report that there was disagreement by 3 nuclear medicine experts on interpretation of FDG-PET images obtained in the context of a clinical trial in aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma 32% of the time. 1 These results emphasize the need for standardized criteria to interpret interim PET scans in lymphoma and

PET and PET/CT in Thyroid Cancer
2008Thyroid cancer can be divided into three main groups: tumors with follicle cell differentiation (differentiated thyroid cancer), tumors with C-cell differentiation (medullary thyroid cancer), and anaplastic carcinomas. The insular carcinoma takes an intermediate place between differentiated and anaplastic cancer.

PET and PET/CT in endocrine tumours
European Journal of Radiology, 2010Functional information provided by PET tracers together with the superior image quality and the better data quantification by PET technology had a changing effect on the significance of nuclear medicine in medical issues. Recently introduced hybrid PET/CT systems together with the introduction of novel PET radiopharmaceuticals have contributed to the ...

PET, PET/CT, and PET/MR Imaging Assessment of Breast Cancer
PET Clinics, 2008This review focuses mainly on clinical applications of PET/CT in patients with breast cancer. It discusses the role of 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) PET/CT (and FDG PET) in the diagnosis and initial staging of breast cancer, in monitoring the response of disease to chemotherapy, and in identifying metastatic and recurrent disease. In addition,

Accurate staging is essential to offer the patient the most effective available treatment and the best estimate of prognosis. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection offers the best chance of cure in the early stages, either alone or in combination with chemo- or radiotherapy at the more advanced stages. However, many patients present

PET and PET/CT in Pediatric Sarcomas
PET Clinics, 2008Because of the rarity of pediatric bone and soft tissue malignancies, it is difficult to validate the role of emerging imaging technologies in their management. The growing body of literature regarding the use of PET and PET/CT in children supports the continued investigation of this modality in the management of pediatric sarcomas.
