Positron emmission tomography (PET) is a diagnostic imaging technique based on the detection of radioactive emission. For that purpose a radioactive tracer (radiotracer) has to be injected into the patient's peripheral vein. PET is especially useful for monitoring the relative change of disease processes over time.
