Positron emission tomography (PET) is a technique for studying functional processes in the human body in vivo. The important clinical applications of PET in neurosurgery include localization of epileptic foci, diagnosis of brain tumors, preoperative brain mapping, and the study of plasticity of the brain following brain damage. The basic physics and neurosurgical applications of PET are presented.
正电子发射断层扫描（PET）是一种用于在人体内活体研究功能过程的技术。PET在神经外科的重要临床应用包括癫痫病灶的定位、脑肿瘤的诊断、术前脑图谱绘制以及脑损伤后大脑可塑性的研究。本文介绍了PET的基本物理原理及其在神经外科的应用。
