This lecture introduces Positron Emission Tomography (PET), covering topics such as the PET scanner, imaging gene expression in animal models, annihilation photons, and coincidence detection using crystal and photomultiplier. It explains how PET measures x-rays emitted by the annihilation of positrons and the importance of electronic collimation for detecting events simultaneously.
