PET system

A PET system is a diagnostic imaging assembly that detects and analyzes gamma photons produced when positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals decay in the body. It generates three-dimensional tomographic images that show the distribution and metabolic activity of these tracers, enabling visualization of physiological processes such as glucose metabolism, blood flow, or receptor binding.

Devices in this category are regulated as medical imaging systems and typically require compliance with safety and performance standards for radiation-emitting equipment. They are supplied as integrated systems including detectors, gantries, patient tables, and specialized reconstruction software, and are used in clinical settings under the supervision of trained professionals for oncological, neurological, and cardiological assessments.
