Hi gang,

I've been asked if there is a web site that describes Positron
Emission Tomography...... PET imaging.

Here is the URL for University of British Columbia's web site for the
PET group.



There are excellent links here to PET sites around the world.

Click on What is PET? for a technical description of X Ray, CT, MRI,
SPECT, and PET.

Happy browsing................Murray
