Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) relies on a combination of the use of positron-emitting radioactive tracers and computerized tomography to monitor certain physiological and functional characteristics in vivo and noninvasively. Its special and most powerful applications to date are in brain physiology and neurology. There are many potential research applications in farm animals, such as the mapping of neuro-humoral pathways, but cost and the need for special facilities are likely to be prohibitive.
