My textbook writes EEG=electro encephalo gram And device as electro encephalo graph

[@lusoanglian]

Pet explanation is somewhat incorrect as the imaging technique records mainly the levels of radiation coming from annihilation events happening in the body or brain from the decay of the radioactive compound the person had been given, e.g radioactive glucose or oxygen or something else to track their respective activity in the body or brain. It’s not about flood flow. You missed spect in this review, otherwise good overview.

[@PsychExamReview]

You're correct and I oversimplified a bit in my explanation. To explain more fully, the scanner is detecting gamma ray emissions from radioactive glucose, and the idea is that areas of higher radioactivity indicate greater energy use in that region. My explanation skipped over the related assumptions that greater radioactivity indicates more glucose and more glucose suggests greater blood flow to that area (to deliver more energy because it is more active). Hope this is clearer, thanks for commenting!

[@omerturker117]

How come you have any information I needed to find?

[@fucapsych]

Just wanted to say; make your videos more than 10 mins, open the ads to be seen by more viewer.

[@PsychExamReview]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

[@BonesBelieber1424]
