The PET Centre at Aarhus University Hospital was established in 1993 when Karen Elise Jensen's Fund donated 21 million DKK for a PET-scanner and a cyklotron in connection with the hospital's centenary. The PET-scanner is a sophisticated instrument for research and examination of the living organism. PET is short for Positron Emissions Tomograc imaging by use of different radioactive trace elements of, among others, brains, hearts, livers, bones and cancerous growths. The radioactive trace elements are produced on the spot by means of the cyklotron (an accelerator placed in a big closet in an isolated room.
