Contribution of Positron Emission Tomography to Pharmacokinetic Studies
Pharmacokinetics, whose aim is to explain and predict drug action in the human body, describes the processes that determine the concentration of the active substance at its site of action.

Chapter
Preclinical Data Necessary to Assess PET Examinations
PET allows in humans the monitoring of the time-course of regional tissue tracer concentration after administration of a positron emitting radiopharmaceutical. When the radiopharmaceutical is a substrate for a...
