Examination by means of a fluoroscope. Also called radioscopy. , nuclear medicine and positron emission tomography positron emission tomography: see PET scan. positron emission tomography (PET) Imaging technique used in diagnosis and biomedical research. (PET). Other CDI centers are located in Winter Park, Ocoee, Oviedo and DeLand.
