Authors' objectives:
This 3-month project had two explicit objectives:
1. to review the state of knowledge regarding the clinical applications of PET
2. to determine the key health technology assessment (HTA) research questions relating to the use of PET in the UK.
Authors' recommendations:
The findings of this project, which was undertaken rapidly in order to inform HTA research prioritisation in the UK, provide a contemporary overview of the potential clinical role for PET in the NHS. Evidence is needed that using PET as a diagnostic technique will alter patient management. This underlies the cost-effectiveness research priorities established by this project.
