This program, includes a brief history of Positron-Emission Tomography in medical imaging and an explanation of radiotracers and the means of their detection in the imaging process. The Operations segment discusses preparation of the radiotracers along with overviews of attenuation correction, 2D and 3D reconstruction and "Time of Flight" technique. We describe the applications of PET in Oncology, Neuroimaging, Cognitive Neuroscience and other areas of diagnosis and research.
