- Abstract
- The concept of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) was conceived in the early 1970s by a number of researchers. In August 1976, the first brain and whole-body images were acquired successfully using the initial type of PET scanner optimized for in vivo imaging with positron-emitting radionuclides in humans (Phelps et al. J Nucl Med 16(3):210-24, 1975). This demonstrated the feasibility of the methodology, but it was still far from clinical study. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
