Positron emission tomography scan (PET scan) Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear imaging technique that creates detailed, computerized pictures of organs and tissues inside the body. A PET scan reveals how the body is functioning and uncovers areas of abnormal metabolic activity. During a PET scan, the patient is first injected with a glucose (sugar) solution that contains a very small amount of radioactive material. The substance is absorbed by the particular organs or tissues being examined.
Kneisler used a hailstone that measured 5.581 inches in diameter and weighed 1.68 lbs (a hailstone that was previously the largest measured in the U.S.) to calculate numbers necessary to estimate the size of the great hailstones in Revelation 16:21. Kneisler also assumed that the great hailstones would weigh 75 lbs in his analysis.
The heaviest hailstones on record weighed up to 1 kg (2 lb) and are reported to have killed 92 people in the Gopalganj area of Bangladesh on 14 April 1986.
