← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a PET scanner's positron emission fails?
A)Images exhibit increased background noise✓
B)Spatial resolution improves significantly
C)Scan time decreases exponentially
D)Metabolic activity displays amplification
💡 Explanation
Increased background noise arises because the annihilation photons linked via electron-positron annihilation are absent, so statistically less specific radiation dominates and degrades the image rather than signal accuracy due to altered decay rates.
