Positron emission tomography in neuropsychology
Neuropsychologia, 1986By positron emission tomography (PET) of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) local cerebral metabolic rate for glucose (LCMRGl) can be measured in man. Normal values in cerebral cortex and basal ganglia range from 35 to 50 mumol/100 g/min, the values in gray matter structures of the posterior fossa were 25-30 mumol/100 g/min, the lowest LCMRGl was ...

18F-Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2007(18)F-Fluoride is a positron-emitting bone-seeking agent, the uptake of which reflects blood flow and remodeling of bone. Assessment of (18)F-fluoride kinetics using quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) methods allows the regional characterization of lesions of metabolic bone diseases and the monitoring of their response to therapy.

Positron emission tomography (PET) allows for the absolute measurement of regional tissue physiological, biochemical and pharmacological processes. This ability is a consequence of the nature of positron emission and the type of tracers which can be labelled with positron emitting radionuclides. The spatial resolution of state of the art scanners is in

Positron emission tomography in the lung
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1985Positron emission tomography using the ECAT II scanner to image and measure regional lung function is outlined. The combined use of transmission and emission imaging provides quantitative information about regional lung structure (density, extravascular density, and vascular volume) and function (ventilation, perfusion, ventilation-perfusion ratios ...

Positron emission tomography (PET)
Journal of Medical Systems, 1982Among emerging medical diagnostic imaging modalities, positron emission tomography, often abbreviated to its acronym “PET”, belongs in the category of nuclear medicine. Indeed, the image forming variable in PET is the distribution in the structure under study of a radionuclide administered systemically in the form of a selected radiopharmaceutical ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a radiotracer imaging technique, which permits the in vivo quantitative measurement of biological processes non-invasively. The science and technology behind PET involves radiotracing and tomography. In the process of PET imaging, the compound labeled with a positron-emitting isotope is injected into body.

Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2008Accurate anatomical localization of functional abnormalities obtained with the use of positron emission tomography (PET) is known to be problematic. Although tracers such as (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) visualize certain normal anatomical structures, the spatial resolution is generally inadequate for accurate anatomic localization of pathology.
