Dr. Abass Alavi has spent the past 5 decades of his career in developing novel techniques that have substantially influenced the evolution of the discipline of molecular imaging. Among his accomplishments, the introduction of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) has truly revolutionized the field and has allowed this powerful modality to expand to daily practice of medicine worldwide. The impact of using FDG-PET along with CT (and soon MRI) in managing so many serious diseases and disorders is unparalleled by any other technique in recent history. He has received many awards for his outstanding contributions to the field of molecular imaging. Currently, he is actively involved in conducting research on a full time basis.
