PET, a functional imaging technique able to target specific biochemical pathways through radioactivity probes and to record the time course of activity uptake, is revolutionizing the study of disease biology in subjects ranging from mice to patients by providing molecular information. Interest in PET has increased tremendously as the technology has improved. PET/CT has been accepted by ...
