A brief history of positron emission tomography.
Shortly before the time of this writing, Michael Ter-Pogossian, PhD, passed away at the age of 71. He was considered by many to be the father of PET and is best known for experiments beginning in the 1950s, which led to the development of PET as a practical diagnostic tool (Fig. 1). In my research of the literature for this article, Dr. Ter-Pogossian's name appeared frequently on many of the la...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کامل[Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance: Present and future].
PET/MRI has recently been introduced onto the market after several years of research and development. The simple notion of combining the molecular capabilities of the PET and its difference available radiotracers with the excellent tissue resolution of the MRI and wide range of multiparametric imaging techniques has generated great expectations upon the possible uses of this technology. Many ch...
متن کاملCurrent and future clinical applications of cardiac positron emission tomography.
Nuclear imaging, predominantly with single-photon emission tomography, has established and demonstrated value for the assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Formerly, the clinical application of positron emission tomography (PET) was precluded by methodological complexity, high operating costs and lack of widespread availability. However, as PET and radiotracer development technologies hav...
متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
