Computed tomography (CT) images in combination with a navigation device enable three-dimensional (3-D) localization of intracranial lesions. Furthermore, CT scanning can be adapted for intraoperative application to actualize the image data and to check the anatomical situation during the operation.

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) 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
