• PET Scanning

   Medical Physics 

  PET Scanning, a diagnostic technique in medicine, is explained in this session.

  The following topics are developped:

       ♦ Principle of Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

       ♦ Radiotracers and their use in PET 

       ♦ USefulness and uniqueness of PET scan as a diagnostic medical technique
   
       ♦ Positron emission
   
       ♦ Production of the radiotracer, and use of the cyclotron

       ♦ Detection of gamma-rays in PET

       ♦ Reconstruction of the image produced in PET

   
  The exercise file section contains notes and homework
