Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why PET scans are used. An advantage of a PET scan is that it can show how well certain parts of your body are working, rather than showing what it looks like. They’re particularly helpful for investigating confirmed cases of cancer, to determine how far the cancer has spread and how well it’s responding to treatment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a technique used to investigate activity in areas of the brain. The PET technique allows researchers to study the normal processes in the brain (central nervous system) of normal individuals and patients with neurologic illnesses without physical / structural damage to the brain.
