D)positron emission tomography (PET)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that produces a computer-generated image of brain activity by detecting the distribution of a radioactive form of glucose. This method allows researchers to observe which areas of the brain are most active during specific tasks by tracking glucose consumption, as active brain cells consume more glucose.
