A PET (positron emission tomography) scan is a type of brain imaging that uses a radioactive tracer to measure blood flow and brain metabolism. This can be used to detect the areas of the brain that are most active during mathematical calculations. Brain lesions, interneurons, and hemispherectomy are not appropriate for this purpose. Brain lesions are areas of damage or abnormal tissue, interneurons are specialized neurons that facilitate communication between other neurons, and hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one half of the brain.
