Whitepaper: The Use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Pre-clinical Pharmaceutical Research
Posted: 30 August 2019 | Bruker | No comments yet
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a popular nuclear imaging technique used to gain information about specific metabolic functions.
Used in clinical diagnostic and pre-clinical applications, PET is often combined with other imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning, to incorporate anatomical information. PET provides functional imaging, which shows the spatial distribution of biomolecular activity in living tissues and is therefore particularly useful for evaluating drug candidates in pre-clinical studies.
