Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) represents an enormous advance in the methodology of clinical brain research. In fact, PET has the capacity to estimate a variety of physical, chemical, and physiological parameters and their distribution in the living human brain. In this respect, no other method is able to compete with it.
