▪ Abstract Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18F deoxyglucose
(FDG) is a molecular imaging modality that detects metabolic alterations in tumor cells that …

Early detection of breast cancer is crucial for efficient and effective treatment. We have
developed an instrument for positron emission mammography (PEM) called PEM-I that …

Whole-body PET imaging with 18F-FDG has been used successfully to stage colorectal
