Quick answers
Where should I start with PET?
Read Overview → Anatomy → Function, then use compare rails.
Is this page advice for PET?
Educational atlas — not a diagnosis, treatment plan, or medical advice.
What does the local lens add?
It names everyday desks for Methods before English norms look universal.
Are the scores a ranking of PET?
No — editorial 0–100 browsing aids inside this atlas only.
How do I compare PET to neighbours?
Use related cards and best-of / quiz rails after the first three chapters.
Which chapter is densest?
Anatomy and Function carry mechanisms; skim Overview first.
Function pages turn anatomy into computations — what PET actually does.
Processes and networks below summarise mainstream models, not a single dogma.
