About the Cover:

This month's cover graphically illustrates the power and potential of positron emission tomography (PET) as a medical tool. The four diagonal brain scans show the progression of AIDS dementia complex, as contrasted with a normal brain scan in the lower left. Feliu (page 655) reviews the role chemistry plays in this new technology.
