Abstract

In clinical nuclear medicine there has been an increased demand for positron emission tomography (PET) studies in the last years. Clinical use has been defined and refined constantly 1. While dedicated ring camera systems are optimal, but still expensive, alternatives have emerged with the development of hybrid camera systems that have the capability of detecting 511 KeV energy 2. With 18FDG becoming available through cyclotron centers, end users can rely upon delivery of the radiopharmaceutical in order to carry out the investigations.
