  • brilliantly explained.......I just had a PET scan and I'm waiting for the results to see if my Hodgkins Lymphoma got zapped......now I understand the process a lot more thanks to this video.......cheers

  • This is an excellent introductory explanation for the PET scan and its applications, overview of how it functions, etc. But I'm almost positive that Alzheimer's disease can only be 100% correctly confirmed upon autopsy, a point which I didn't think was clearly made in this video. Thank you, though - an excellent overview.

  • Thank you for the explanation
