Taadaa.The Encyclopaedia of Medical Imaging Volume I said:Energy - mass equivalence,
concept first expressed by Einstein in his special theory of relativity that mass is a form of energy and summarized in his famous law
E = m c2
This insight led to the making of the atomic bomb and atomic power, where a decrease in the mass involved in the reaction is released as energy. In imaging, the law is exploited in PET imaging.
