Imaging the Dynamics of Life
Welcome to the official website of Total-Body PET 2026, the fourth international conference dedicated to the science and clinical translation of total-body positron emission tomography (PET). This event will be hosted by the University of California, Davis, birthplace of the total-body PET EXPLORER.
Total-body PET has transformed how we visualize physiology, pharmacology, and disease by enabling high-sensitivity, simultaneous imaging of all organs for the first time. In 2026, we continue this tradition under the theme of “Imaging the Dynamics of Life,” reflecting the expanding frontiers of total-body PET across technology, biology, and medicine. This conference will offer a platform to share insights, spark collaborations, and shape the future of quantitative imaging.
