Positron Emission Tomography for Neurologists
Neurologic Clinics, 2009This short review focuses on practical, present day, clinical application of FDG PET, a technology available to practicing neurologists for managing their patients. Indications in the disease states of dementia, neuro-oncology, epilepsy, parkinsonism, and other less common settings are reviewed.

Positron Emission Tomography in Oncology
Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, 2003Positron emission tomography (PET) scans use positrons, positively charged particles, to detect metabolic and chemical changes in the body. Although the clinical applications of this technology still are evolving, PET scans are being used to detect cancer and evaluate neurologic disorders, heart muscle function, and response to treatment.

POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY INSTRUMENTATION
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2001Positron emission tomography scanning has evolved over the past 40 years from a tool used predominantly for research to a valued clinical imaging modality. Current PET scanners must perform high-quality whole-body PET and brain PET. There are several levels of PET devices from the dedicated, high-end scanners down to the hybrid PET-SPECT systems ...

The usefulness of positron emission tomography
Current Problems in Cardiology, 1998The evaluation of myocardial blood flow, especially in conjunction with studying either residual oxidative metabolism or glucose uptake, accurately identifies potentially reversible myocardial dysfunction. It also reliably distinguishes between an irreversible and reversible impairment in left ventricular wall motion.

Positron emission tomography: a review
1991The origin of most medical problems is biochemical in nature. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful tool to enlighten the underlying biochemical disorder in human disease. Therefore, the biochemical information obtained by PET allows an understanding of the fundamental nature of human disease and provides diagnosting examinations with a high
