Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging Definition: PET imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that uses radioactive tracers to detect functional processes in the body. Principle: Radioactive tracers are injected into the body, where they emit positrons. Positrons interact with electrons in tissues, producing gamma rays. Detectors around the body detect these gamma rays, creatin...…
