PETstudy
PETstudy refers to a study or research project that utilizes Positron Emission Tomography (PET) as its primary imaging modality. PET is a type of nuclear medicine imaging that detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radionuclide (a tracer) introduced into the body on a biologically active molecule. These tracers accumulate in specific tissues or organs, allowing researchers to visualize and quantify physiological processes such as metabolism, blood flow, and receptor binding.
PET studies are employed across a wide range of disciplines, including neuroscience, cardiology, oncology, and drug
The design of a PET study typically involves selecting an appropriate radiotracer that targets a specific
