Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that has recently experienced growth because of its unique advantages (1). Unlike computerized axial tomography (CAT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which visualize anatomical structure, PET permits noninvasive assessment of human physiology and organ function. PET data is derived from the tissue accumulation of tracer, which is intrinsically related to the biochemical and metabolic processes that affect the radiopharmaceutical in vivo.
