Coincident positron emission tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is based on the principle of coincidence detection of the two 511-keV photons arising from positron emitters, which will be discussed in detail later. [Pg.5]

Due to the penetrating power of the emitted SllkeV gamma photons, which can pass through several millimetres of stainless steel, detection is possible from within steel reactors or process vessels. The coincident detection of photons is the principle of techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT), and Positron Emission Profiling (PEP), which are discussed below. [Pg.217]
