Applications of Molecular Imaging
Single-photon emission tomography (SPET) and positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to visualise molecular alterations in the living subject, allowing alterations in metabolic pathways to be seen, and facilitating early diagnosis and treatment of disease. FDG-PET has already been accepted as an essential tool in the staging and re-staging of...
