Answer to Question 1

Explanation: Positron emission tomography uses positively charged isotopes to obtain an image of the brain. A nerve conduction velocity test measures how fast an impulse travels along a nerve. A lumbar puncture is a puncture with a needle into the lumbar area to withdraw fluid for examination and for the injection of anesthesia. Cerebral angiography is an X-ray of the blood vessels of the brain after the injection of radiopaque dye.
