18F-FDG is the most common radiotracer used in PET for metabolic oncology imaging, cardiology and neurology. Simultaneous emitted photons during positron annihilation can be detected either as single photons, with a collimator, or as coincidence photons. Coincidence mode imaging implies simultaneous detection of two 511 kev photons. PET examinations provide great advantages in the following fields:
