Several of the positron emitters are useful in PET studies.<br />
That usefulness is somewhat offset by the cost of producing<br />
the radionuclides and the added complexity of radiation<br />
protection. For all of the positron emitters the energy of the<br />
Beta+ must be considered. Refer to the table of Beta Dose<br />
Rates for estimates of beta+ radiation exposure. Also,<br />
consider the annihilation photons when the positron comes<br />
into contact with a beta-, annihilating their masses and<br />
producing two 511 KeV photons. These photons present an<br />
external radiation hazard. For the patient undergoing a PET<br />
scan the combination of the positron energy and the photon<br />
energy must be considered.<br />
