Abstract
Nowadays different brain imaging techniques are available. Among these X-ray computerised tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques are well known. All these techniques allow production of cross-sections of the brain and the visualisation of morphological (CT, NMR) or metabolic changes (PET). Limitations of these techniques include the hazards of the use of X-rays and of isotopes or high magnetic fields, and the relatively long time needed for obtaining one image. In order to investigate glucose metabolism, for example, a steady state of 30 min is necessary.
