How to pronounce “positron emission tomography” in English

We know this because, when using some neuroimaging techniques-- like, for instance, MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging,or electroencephalogram, or a positron emission tomography, and many others--the brain of these people works in a very particular way.

Today, we actually use this antimatter in medical devices.A famous medical imaging technique called PET scan, Positron Emission Tomography, was actually based on this antiparticle, the positron.It also captured the imagination of Hollywood.

And so this was exciting.Wait 60 minutes. Put them in a positron emission tomography scanner that detects radioactive emissions to ask the question,

We then did a randomized trial, and we found after just 3 and 1/2 weeks, the ability of the heart to pump blood improved-- using a testcalled radionuclide ventriculography. After my medical training, we did the most definitive study using cardiac Positron Emission Tomography, or PET,to measure blood flow to the heart.
