What kind of test is that?" Select the nurse's best reply.
a. "This test uses a magnetic field and gamma waves to identify problem areas in the brain. Does your teenager have any metal implants?" b. "PET means positron-emission tomography. It is a special type of scan that shows blood flow and activity in the brain." c. "A PET scan passes an electrical current through the brain and shows brain-wave activity. It can help diagnose seizures." d. "It's a special x-ray that shows structures of the brain and whether there has ever been a brain injury."
