    This document summarizes positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans. It discusses the physical properties and functionality of PET, including how it uses positrons emitted by radioactive tracers to create images. Safety considerations are briefly covered. The document compares the radiation doses and biological effects of PET to other medical imaging techniques like CT scans and everyday sources of radiation like bananas. It provides an overview of how a PET scan works by injecting an 18F-FDG tracer and using the emitted positrons to create images of metabolic activity in the body.
