ABSTRACT:
To produce an image of a component of part of an engineering structure such as an aero-engine using a positron emission tomography (PET) technique it is proposed to provide the component or part of the structure of interest with a surface coating containing a radioisotope labelling material. The radioisotope label may be provided by applying a film of lacquer, paint or the like containing the isotope, or the component etc. may be bombarded by suitably energetic ions in order to induce a reaction in which a selected isotope is produced.
