Answer;

-PET scan

A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray

Explanation;

-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.

-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.
