2. Positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

   Cardiac PET scanner. [ edit on Wikidata] Positron emission tomography ( PET) [ 1] is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.

3. PET-CT - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET-CT

   Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed (co-registered) image.

4. PSMA scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSMA_scan

   A PSMA scan is a nuclear medicine imaging technique used in the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. It is carried out by injection of a radiopharmaceutical with a positron or gamma emitting radionuclide and a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting ligand. After injection, imaging of positron emitters such as gallium-68 ( 68 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PET_radiotracers

   This is a list of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. These are chemical compounds in which one or more atoms have been replaced by a short-lived, positron emitting radioisotope. Cardiology

6. Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F) - Wikipedia

   Infobox references. [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose ( INN ), or fluorodeoxyglucose F 18 ( USAN and USP ), also commonly called fluorodeoxyglucose and abbreviated [18F]FDG, 2- [18F]FDG or FDG, is a radiopharmaceutical, specifically a radiotracer, used in the medical imaging modality positron emission tomography (PET).

7. PET response criteria in solid tumors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET_response_criteria_in...

   PET response criteria in solid tumors ( PERCIST) is a set of rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progress") during treatment, using positron emission tomography (PET). The criteria were published in May 2009 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). [1]
