Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Primer
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes in the brain.
Indications
- Alzheimer's Disease (AD). PET amyloid scans visualize amyloid plaques in the brain (which previously could only be visualized on autopsy)
