The number of PET/CT systems in Europe is limited but growing rapidly. The world market was estimated at around $1.2 billion in 2004, which translates into 600 to 700 systems sold. Approxi-mately 90% of European PET sales, whether new installations or replacement, now involve PET/CT scanners. This figure shows the tremendous need for education in PET/CT.
