| Popis: | This paper shows the significance of the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in the veterinary medication through a case study of a cat brain tumor.

After physical, laboratory and neurological investigations other sickness was ruled out and the inkling of the intracranial lesion had come to light.

PET examination, using 18F‐FDG isotope, was performed to confirm the possible causes of the cat’s symptoms |
