Portable scans Another commonly used method for mapping brain function is positron emission tomography (PET), which involves radiation exposure.
positron emission tomography (PET) scanning; photoacoustic imaging; fluorescence imaging; upconversion imaging; and Cerenkov luminescence imaging. In the future, patients could receive a single injection of the nanoparticles to have all six types of imaging done.
But when Saykin and his team imaged the brains of almost 500 volunteers via PET (positron emission tomography) scans,
They conducted brain scans using positron emission tomography (PET), which produces a three-dimensional image of functional process within the brain,
In fact, this is how doctors use positron emission tomography to scan images to spot tumors. PET scans highlight the glucose that cancer cells have accumulated.
