Abstract

In this section, we summarize positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of tumor perfusion and hypoxia. We first summarize biological considerations, and then discuss the imaging approaches and results to date for PET imaging of tumor perfusion and tumor hypoxia. While we consider the importance of angiogenesis in the context of tumor hypoxia and tumor perfusion, we only briefly highlight recent PET imaging methods designed to specifically image angiogenesis and neovascularity. These topics are considered in more detail in other chapters in this text.
