Abstract

The study results of the PET facilities creation and design adaptation to the local conditions are analyzed. The PET Center development algorithm is proposed, detailed and implemented for oncology PET Center. Approach includes medical and physical studies, development of medical and technical requirements and conception as well as the initial data for the object projecting.
