Positron Emission Tomography(PET) is a medical imaging technology. PET plays an integral role in diagnosing of neurological disorders. PET´s major advantage over other diagnostic modalites lies in its ability to demonstrate brain functions, such as blood flow, metabolism, receptor analysis and protein synthesis. Radio technologists must supply valuable diagnostic info ination based on structural, physiological and biological changes caused by disease states. Nuclear medicine technologists must know information about PET.
In short, PET can be used to identify disease information. This paper is introducing theories and instruments of PET.
