DESCRIPTION:Positron emission tomography (PET and PET/CT) imaging faciliti
 es allow physicians and veterinarians to use this powerful molecular imagi
 ng technique for clinical and research applications\, especially in oncolo
 gy.  PET/CT offers an opportunity to evaluate the metabolic nature of canc
 er in addition to anatomical data.  Unlike small animal models of human ca
 ncers\, naturally occurring cancers in companion animals represent a great
  opportunity to validate PET/CT imaging techniques\, they benefit tumor-be
 aring pets while simultaneously advancing development of new imaging techn
 iques and therapeutic strategies for human cancers.  This lecture gives an
  overview of PET/CT imaging modality and its clinical and research applica
 tions in veterinary oncology and the potential research collaborations bet
 ween veterinarians and physicians.\n\nAbout Dr. Liu:  \nDr. Liu received h
 is M.D. from the National Defense Medical Center\, Taipei\, Taiwan in 1977
 . He has\nbeen working in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Taipei

 Department of Nuclear Medicine and National PET/Cyclotron Center from\n199
 6 - 2003. He is currently the Professor and Director of the Department of 
 Biomedical Imaging and\nRadiological Sciences\, School of Biomedical Scien
 ce and Engineering and the professor of the Division of\nNuclear Medicine\
