A Brain PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan is an advanced imaging test used to evaluate brain function and detect abnormalities at a cellular level. Unlike MRI or CT scans, which show the structure of the brain, a PET scan reveals how the brain is functioning by highlighting areas of metabolic activity.
Detects early signs of neurodegenerative diseases.
