  schema:description "New whole-body scanners are so much more sensitive than standard PET machines that they can produce a clear picture using a small fraction of the usual radioactive tracer dose. Most of that extra sensitivity has been used to make scans faster; using it instead to lower the radiation dose given to patients and staff is a separate, less-explored option."@en ;
