Positron-Emission Tomography

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1980
An understanding of disease processes in the human brain must ultimately be based on a knowledge of the underlying regional hemodynamic, metabolic, and biochemical changes. Although some such information is currently available from various animal models, the conflicting nature of these data often leaves many important questions unanswered and ...

Positron Emission Tomography

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1986
PET is a unique tool for the direct in vivo evaluation of physiologic processes within discrete areas of the brain. Thus far, its application to the study of schizophrenia has served to confirm the subtleties of this illness. However, PET does promise to increase our knowledge of the neurochemical anatomy of the normal and abnormal mind with respect to

Positron emission tomography

Radiation Physics and Chemistry (1977), 1984
One of the most exciting new techniques introduced in the last ten years is positron emission tomography (PET). PET provides quantitative, three-dimensional images for the study of specific biochemical and physiological processes in the human body.

Overview of Positron Emission Tomography, Hybrid Positron Emission Tomography Instrumentation, and Positron Emission Tomography Quantification

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2013
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful quantitative molecular imaging technique that is complementary to structural imaging techniques for purposes of disease detection and characterization. This review article provides a brief overview of PET, hybrid PET instrumentation, and PET quantification.

Positron Emission Tomography

Physica Scripta, 1987
An overview is presented of the basic principles, the physics constrains and the practical limitations of Positron Emission Tomography. The most recent developments in PET instrumentation and the actual trends are discussed. Finally, some clinical applications are described.

Positron emission tomography radiochemistry

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2003
Factors that place constraints on radio-chemists who are seeking to design and develop radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging studies include the short half-lives of 11C and 18F, minimum radiochemical yield and specific activity requirements, and high radiation fields that are associated with multi-Curie quantities of PET radionuclides.

Positron emission tomography in neuropsychology

Neuropsychologia, 1986
By 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 ...

Positron emission tomography

Brain Topography, 1992
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

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)

Journal of Medical Systems, 1982
Among 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 ...
