PET (Positron emission tomography) imaging is a boon to the medical field as it provides a tool for research and medical purposes in pre-clinical and clinical settings. Frequently used in the imaging of tumors, PET also assists in finding metastases and is utilized for clinical diagnoses of particular diseases that spread widely in the brain, such as those that bring on different types of dementia.
PET Imaging Is Valuable
As a valuable research tool, Fixed Site PET Imaging assists in enhancing the knowledge of the human brain and functions of the heart, along with the support of drug development. PET is used in pre-clinical studies involving animals. As the industry standard for detecting heart disease, PET has received much recognition, along with its utilization.
PET’s Capabilities Reduce Usage of Lab Animals and Improves Statistical Quality
Because PET permits repeated investigations over time into the same subjects, the existing subjects can act as the control to studies. With such capabilities, Fixed Site PET Imaging reduces substantially the number of lab animals needed for a particular study. Moreover, the statistical quality of the results is markedly improved over those formerly held.
