Re: History of PET
Since PETs are so expensive (actually, it's rather the whole installation, including the cyclotron to produce the radiopharmaceuticals which adds to the cost), there are only about 150 installations around the world
I suspect the cost is one reason why they are not utilized that much in our Canadian system

Re: History of PET
Actually there are several PET facilities in Mexico too, at least in Mexico City. In fact there are some excellent facilities, doctors and equipment here, which I am very grateful for!
