What changed

Described a combined PET/CT tomograph that acquired co-registered functional and anatomical images in one session and reported performance measurements and clinical studies in more than 110 oncology patients.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact 2000 Journal of Nuclear Medicine article and its prototype evidence. Later commercial PET/CT systems, broader diagnostic-effectiveness claims and subsequent hybrid-imaging developments remain separate.
