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

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1990
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that provides quantitative, regional measurements of biochemical and physiological processes in living human subjects. In this editorial, we review PET's capabilities; we distinguish between its established, apparent, and unestablished but potential value in science and medicine; and we ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is based on the detection in coincidence of the two 511-keV annihilation radiations that originate from β + -emitting sources, such as the patient containing β + -emitting radioactivity. Positrons are annihilated in body tissue and produce two 511-keV annihilation photons that are emitted in opposite directions (180°).

Positron computed tomography allows for the in vivo measurement of the regional tissue concentration of positron-emitting radionuclides such as 15O, 11C, 13N, and 18F. By using different tracers, a variety of metabolic processes can be quantitated. These include blood flow, oxygen utilization, glucose utilization, amino acid transport, blood volume ...

Positron Emission Tomography of the Brain [PDF]
PET Clinics, 2006 Positron emission tomography (PTE) is a technique that allows imaging of the temporal and spatial distribution of positron-emitting radionuclides. The purpose of this article is to outline the current clinical use for PET imaging in the brain and other radiopharmaceutical used for assessing various physiologic parameters pertaining to tumor metabolism.

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.
