✦ Synopsis

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medical imaging technique for quantitative measurement of physiologic parameters in vivo (an overview of principles and applications can be found in [1]), based on the detection of small amounts of positron-emitter-labelled biologic molecules. Various radiotracers are available for neurological, cardiological, and oncological applications in the clinic and in research protocols. This overview describes the basic principles, technology, and recent developments in PET, followed by a section on the development of a tomograph with avalanche photodiodes dedicated for small animal imaging as an example of efforts in the domain of high resolution tomographs.
