Abstract

PET (positron emission tomography) is a technology to make image by detection of gamma ray emitted from molecules chemically introduced with positron-emitting short-half-life radionuclides. Thus, PET can give us information of distribution and dynamics of molecules inside the body of animals and humans, while CT and MRI visualize the structural information of that. In this paper, we introduce a basic PET study with [¹⁸F]FDG which is most frequently used in the clinical field, and recent PET studies with another molecular probe which can be used for visualizing brain neuroinflammation in animals and also in humans, in addition to the technological principle of PET study.
