The PET scanner looks rather like a sophisticated airplane engine, with a hollow core. It is a cousin of the CAT scanner that nearly a decade ago wedded the technique of X rays with computer technology to give cross-sectional views of internal body structures, not just bones but soft tissues as well. But scanning by CAT (for computerized axial tomography) is limited to anatomy. It lets doctors...
