GMP lab for production of PET tracers for clinical and translational research KU Leuven
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging technique in which small amounts of short-lived radioactive compounds (“PET tracers”) are administered and bind to specific targets (receptors, enzymes, transporters or other biomolecules) in the body. The expression of these targets can be visualized and quantified in vivo using a dedicated PET camera that detects the gamma-rays emitted upon decay of the injected ...
