Summary
The development of radionuclides and positron emission tomography (PET) resulted from important discoveries and advancements in physics, chemistry, physiology, mathematics, and computer science, notably, the discovery of computerized tomography by Hounsfield (see Chapter 32) [1]. PET was the first-ever technique to allow mapping of brain perfusion and metabolism in three dimensions. Understanding of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism coupled with technological advancements made it possible to functionally image the brain in healthy and diseased individuals. PET studies critically contributed to deciphering the mechanisms underlying cerebrovascular disease and stroke, which led to a revolution in clinical practice [2].
