Why is it important?
PET is a medical imaging technology that is widely used in clinical medicine, particularly cancer, and in biomedical research. Over the last 20 years PET has become an indispensable tool in the management of cancer and is poised to play a big role in dementia and many other systemic, chronic diseases that have a big impact on quality of life.
Perspectives
This article was written as a collaborative effort with colleagues and friends who have each made highly significant contributions to the development of PET over the past 30 years or more.
