The CSI-PET Center Facility is a shared core resource of the Department of Radiology and the School of Medicine. The core offers Positron Emission Tomography services for clinical studies, clinical research and basic research. The establishment of this CSI-PET Center as a university wide resource administered by a multi-departmental team has succeeded in fostering strong collaborative research while strengthening the clinical service. Our mission is to provide financially responsible services and resources to the Emory University System of Health Care and the state of Georgia for leading-edge research, clinical service, and teaching associated with Positron Emission Tomography. These resources are used to pursue new techniques, improving the diagnosis and assessment of disease. The ultimate focus of these activities is to provide the highest standards of health care delivery.

The Facility was established in 1993 using funds provided by Emory University, Emory University Hospital, and the Georgia Cancer Research Alliance.
