The use of short-lived positron emitter isotopes in studying the dynamics of biological systems provides an indepth understanding of the regulating functions of the system, that is otherwise unattainable. When we coupled such studies with tracer kinetics models, and a system approach of data analysis, {ital in vivo} simultaneous processes and their interactions are understood. The techniques applied, results of their applications and system analysis of data are reported. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
