Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an exciting imaging modality having the ability to image functional processes in vivo. Due to the short half-lives of the radioisotopes used in PET studies, it is necessary to produce the radioisotopes at their point of use with a cyclotron. Images of the in-vivo radiopharmaceutical distribution having 6 mm spatial resolution are collected with the PET scanner. The Austin Hospital PET Centre consisting of a 10 MeV cyclotron, radiochemistry laboratories, a full body PET scanner and image analysis laboratories is expected to be operational by June 1992 when routine clinical scanning will commence. Its features and clinical research applications are briefly outlined.
