A PET scan is the most likely technique to be used to examine glucose levels in the brain. This is because the technique involves injecting a small amount of radioactive glucose into the patient and then tracking its movement through the brain. The areas of the brain that have higher levels of glucose uptake are highlighted on the scan, providing valuable information about brain function and activity. The other options listed do not measure glucose levels in the brain, but rather look at different aspects of brain structure and function.
