    Positron emission tomography (PET) uses radionuclide tracers to study substance distribution and metabolism in organs. This technique offers new diagnostic, pathophysiological, and therapeutic possibilities in medicine.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Medical imaging
    • Radiochemistry

    Background:

    • Short-lived radionuclide tracers can be labeled without altering biological properties.
    • Positron emission tomography (PET) allows in-vivo study of labeled substance distribution and metabolism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
    • To highlight the application of PET at Uppsala.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing positron-emitting radionuclide tracers for substance labeling.
    • Employing Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for in-vivo analysis.
    • Quantitative, locational, functional, and biochemical assessment of labeled substances.

    Main Results:
