Advocates of positron emission tomography--PET--see a bright future for a technology that until now has been largely confined to research use because of cost and reimbursement issues. PET, which captures images of cellular activity, or metabolism, offers results that are a step beyond other imaging technologies. As the reimbursement picture changes and new applications are developed, the technology could see rapid growth.
正电子发射断层扫描（PET）技术的支持者们认为，这项迄今为止因成本和报销问题而主要局限于研究用途的技术有着光明的前景。PET能够捕捉细胞活动或新陈代谢的图像，其提供的结果比其他成像技术更进了一步。随着报销情况的变化以及新应用的开发，这项技术可能会迅速发展。
