Positron (β+) emission tomography (PET) is a noninvasive molecular imaging technique that allows for the invivo investigation of physiological processes.[1] As a radioisotope, fluorine- 18 benefits from an advantageous half-life (109.7 min), a clean decay process (97% β+ emission), and a short β+ trajectory, which is a property that enables the acquisition of high- resolution images. The global use of the radiotracer [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose has ...
