Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) is a technique which allows the three-dimensional, internal dynamics of opaque systems to be imaged with high temporal and spatial resolution. This book provides both an accessible introduction to, and a comprehensive reference guide for the PEPT technique.
Master's students, PhD students and researchers (both academic and industrial) for whom PEPT may be a valuable research tool.
