PET is widely considered the most sensitive technique available for noninvasively studying physiology, metabolism, and molecular pathways in living human beings. The introduction of total body (TB)-, and long-axial-field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT camera systems has recently initiated a new and exciting era in medical imaging (1, 2). This new concept broadens both the clinical as well as the scientific horizon with a manifold of novel opportunities. This Collection Issue aims to present the role of TB/LAFOV PET/CT in the diagnosis and imaged-based management of different diseases, both in oncological and non-oncological fields, including attention for technical background and developments. More new Methodology/Physics oriented papers shall be submitted to EJNMMI Physics: https://ejnmmiphys.springeropen.com/idrt
