Abstract
- The article focuses on the technology of positron emission tomography (PET) which can help doctors and researchers capture detailed three-dimensional images of molecular processes occurring in the human body. A positron-emitting isotope or radiotracer is injected into patients or animals and record the radiation emitted with a PET scanner. Chemists design tracers containing fluorine-18 to mimic or target molecules or tissues in the body.
