Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

<span>Normally sterilizing food using radiation does not induce radioactivity but sometimes it may change the taste, texture of the food and it may also destroy the nutrients. radiation is used to kill the harmful bacteria and to increase the shelf life. when the radiation is very energetic it alters the food structure but it does not make it radioactive. To become radioactive one has to make a nucleus unstable. ionizing radiation normally cannot do this. FDA has established maximum energy levels for radiation to prevent the treated foods from becoming radioactive. The energy levels of the rays are too low to induce radioactivity in the food. So there is no harm in consuming treated foods.</span>

Which imaging techniques does not collect information about brain functioning
Dahasolnce [82]
There are various imaging techniques in collecting information about the brain and its adjacent structures. To enumerate, there are the cranial ultrasound (for children with cranial sutures that are not closed yet), cranial CT-scan, cranial MRI, brain PET scan, and cranial functional MRI. Only the brain PET scan and cranial functional MRI can collect information about the brain function by detecting fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the brain as this lights up in functional areas of the brain in PET scan; and by detecting brain activity through changes in blood flow in cranial functional MRI. 

<em>While it is not an imaging technique, electroencephalogram or EEG can detect brain function.</em>
