In radiology and nuclear medicine, single - photon emission therapy (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning is now a standard practice.

<h3>What distinguishes a CT scan from a PET scan?</h3>

The internal organs and tissues of your body are depicted in great detail by a CT scan. A Pet / ct can be more accurate than some other imaging procedures and can detect aberrant activity. Additionally, it can cause your body to alter sooner. PET-CT scans are used by doctors to reveal more details about the cancer.

<h3>What distinguishes an MRI from a PET scan?</h3>

Radio waves and magnets are both used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Both generate static photos of the body's organs and skeletal system. Using a radioactive tracer, PET scans can demonstrate how an organ is working in real time. CT and MRI scans cannot identify cellular responses in tissues and organs as early as PET scan images can.

Which of the following statements is FALSE about the glomerulus and the processes that occur there?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The vasoconstriction or the narrowing of the blood vessels regulate the filtration rate of the glomerulus. The afferent arteriole vasoconstriction decreases the flow of blood to the glomerulus thus, decreases the filtration rate

The vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole increases the glomerular filtration rate due to the increase in the blood level in the glomerular capillaries.

Thus, option D is the correct option.
