Historical Information on Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

On November 21, 1997, the President signed the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Modernization Act). Section 121 of the Modernization Act included provisions that directed FDA to establish appropriate procedures for the approval of positron emission tomography (PET) drugs and appropriate current good manufacturing practice requirements for such drugs. FDA has begun developing those procedures and has established this site to provide information on these activities.
