Radioisotope emission tomographic methods, as developed in nuclear medicine, are reviewed with reference to their suitability for process tomography. The most promising techniques appear to be positron emission tomography and its offshoot positron emission particle tracking.
Positron-emission tomography (PET) and radioactively labelled substrates permit metabolic studies to be carried out in vivo and in situ with few if any limitations regarding the choice of substrates as long as they can be tagged with positron-emitting radionuclides, especially those like 11C and 13N
