A PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) would be most useful for detecting the brain areas that are most active as a person performs mathematical calculations. This is because PET scans use a small amount of radioactive material to track and measure brain activity, allowing for detection of areas that are actively using glucose and other nutrients during certain tasks. MRI scans and brain lesions would not necessarily indicate areas of brain activity during specific tasks, and enlarged ventricles are not typically associated with task-specific brain activity.
