Positron emission tomography

How a PET scanner works.

Resolution of PET scanner.

Positron emitting radionuclides. Annihilation.

Production of positron emitting radionuclides. Cyclotrons.

Radiopharmaceuticals. Chemical processing - Separation, Purification, Radiolabelling, Quality control.

Functional imaging by PET ( physiological , metabolic, molecular).

Physical half-life of a radionuclide. Biological half-life of pharmaceutical. Effective half-life.
