Tissue imaging is broadly used to understand and monitor the progression of pathologic
processes. It contributes information that cannot be obtained by any other techniques, such …

Pulmonary PET imaging is still immature relative to developments and experience in other
fields, such as brain, heart, and cancer. The reasons for this are several, including …
