Molecular imaging using PET provides a unique tool for noninvasively investigating the
biochemistry of living organs. The wide range of radiolabeled molecules makes it possible to
explore various biochemical, physiologic, and pharmacologic processes in vivo. Because
each radiotracer is characterized by its particular kinetic behavior in the human body, the
quantification of this behavior is a critical component for the improvement of imaging
protocols and for rapid translation from research and development to the clinic. Suitable�…
