Positron Emission Tomography (PET) products

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) products

These are radiopharmaceutical products submitted to FDA for approval as an ANDA. Since PET is a type of nuclear medicine procedure, this means that a tiny amount of a radioactive substance, called a radiopharmaceutical (radionuclide or radioactive tracer), is used during the procedure to assist in the examination of the tissue under study.
