Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - ANS-computed tomography
records the positrons (positive charged particles) emitted from a
radiopharmaceutical to produce a cross-sectional image of metabolic
activity of body tissues to determine the presence of disease
radiography - ANS-technique in which x-rays are passed through the body
or area and captured on a film to generate an image; also called x-ray
single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) - ANS-radiological
