Beam emittance measurements have been performed on the {sup 3}He{sup +} beam at the PET isotope production accelerator, being commissioned at Fermilab for the Biomedical Research Foundation in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA. Emittances have been measured at injection to and extraction from the first RFQ, at 20 keV and 1 MeV, respectively. A single slit followed by a 48 electrode collector is used in the standard way to measure the divergence of the {sup 3}He{sup +} beam as a function of position. Noise reduction operations have been developed, both in hardware and software. These techniques and the emittance measurement results are presented.
