La Tomografia ad Emissione di Positroni (PET) consente di misurare in vivo e in modo non invasivo parametri di funzionalità d’organo in seguito alla somministrazione di un tracciante radioattivo. Mediante la PET è infatti possibile ottenere immagini di distribuzione di un tracciante radioattivo in sezioni dell’organismo e misurare la concentrazione regionale di radioattività. Simulando la cinetica del radiotracciante mediante un modello matematico è possibile correlare la concentrazione di radioattività e il parametro funzionale in studio.
Il consumo regionale cerebrale di glucosio (LCMRGlc) è stato misurato con PET dopo somministrazione di fluorodesossiglucosio marcato con 18F (18FDG)
