报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging technique that was first developed at Washington University in St. Louis in 1970’s. Since its invention, PET has evolved from a research tool available only in selected medical centers to become widely available in many hospitals for the detection of cancer metastasis and monitoring of treatment response. We have seen many technological advances in the past 4 decades in PET, with the latest breakthrough in total-body PET imaging via the Explorer PET/CT scanner. The Explorer offers a 2-meter long axial field-of-view to provide an ultra-high sensitivity for PET imaging. In this talk, we will review the technical advances in PET and introduce new capabilities that are being developed at the Washington University in St. Louis in this post-Explorer Era.
