Positron emission tomography (pet) imaging relies upon the emission of __________ from radioactive isotopes such as carbon-11.

Respuesta :

Answer:

positron

Explanation:

PET scanning works by injecting a radioactive material, called a tracer, into the body. The tracer emits a positron inside the body, and the positron collides with electrons in the body, thereby annihilating and releasing two gamma rays that travel in opposite directions.
