Abstract:
Positron emission tomography (PET) has been considered a research tool; however, advances in hardware and software, along with availability of small medical cyclotrons, make clinical metabolic imaging feasible. There is accumulating data, especially in the areas of neurology and cardiology, to support its use in the appropriate clinical setting and patient population.
