An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides
(such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism.
It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM;
and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron
emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower
