The fMRI scan has a higher resolution relative to the PET scan, which is an advantage of the fMRI technique. Option A is incorrect because FMRI scanners are expensive to build. Option B is incorrect because oxygen has a short half-life in the brain. Option C is incorrect because the fMRI technique is non-invasive and safe. Option D is incorrect because the fMRI technique is faster than PET but is more computationally intensive.
