D) CT scan.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) is the most accurate technique for measuring glucose metabolism in the brain. It involves injecting a small amount of radioactive material into the patient's bloodstream and then scanning the brain to see how much of this material is absorbed by different regions of the brain. This provides a highly detailed picture of the brain's metabolic activity, which can be used to diagnose neurological disorders and monitor the effects of treatments. The other options (A, C, and D) are imaging techniques that provide different types of information, but are not as specific for measuring glucose metabolism.
