History of PET

There are three major technical components of positron emission tomography (PET): PET scanner, cyclotron production of radiopharmaceuticals, and biological assays of normal and disease processes. A historical perspective from the early development stages through today is given for each of these technology areas, as well as some predictions for the future. Details of the technologies are given on PET scanners and cameras in Chapter 2 and for cyclotron production of radiopharmaceuticals in Chapter 3.
