There are two competitive measuring techniques in emission tomography: SPECT and PET. The superiority of PET is founded not only on using physiological radionuclides and tracers such as carbon 11, oxygen 15, and nitrogen 13, but also on achieving a physical performance far in excess of that of SPECT

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
