A PET scan of the lungs is considered ________________________
Correct Answer
nuclear medicineExplanation
A PET scan of the lungs is considered nuclear medicine because it involves the use of a radioactive substance, known as a tracer, to produce detailed images of the lung tissue. The tracer is injected into the patient's bloodstream and is taken up by the cells in the lungs. The radioactive emissions from the tracer are then detected by a special camera, which creates images that can help diagnose and monitor various lung conditions, such as cancer, infections, and pulmonary embolism. Nuclear medicine techniques, including PET scans, are commonly used in the field of radiology to provide valuable information about the structure and function of organs and tissues.Rate this question:
