PET is short for Positron Emission Tomography. It exploits the small number of radioactive particles called radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers. It also uses a small camera to identify the function of cells and tissues. It also pictures the unusual growth of the cells or if any microbial growth is taking place within the tissue. This approach with the radio particles determines the changes at the cellular level. PET scan is an imaging test that identifies the onset of disease. The scanner in the machine identifies diseased cells and tissues because they absorb large radiotracers.
