Analysis instructions by PET tracer

Researchers of Turku PET Centre should also read specific instructions for quantitative analysis methods in the METs and DANs in TPC intranet.

Note: This is not the list of tracers that are available in Turku PET Centre. Instead, this is the list of tracers which TPC modelling group has been run into, either locally or in collaboration with other centers, or because of review assignments. You may find the Molecular Imaging and Contrast Agent Database more useful than this.
