摘要：

Two important aspects of the application of positron emission tomography in engineering are: the creation of accurate but simplified engineering drawings to overlay the radiolabel tomograms as an aid to their interpretation, and the correction of important features in tomograms for attenuation in overlying metal to provide quantitative information. The practical difficulties met in producing overlays and correcting for attenuation are described, and strategies which are proving useful to overcome them are outlined.
