Ligaments attach your breasts to the pectoral muscle on your chest. When you wear a bra, your supported breast does not allow the pectoral muscle to be exercised as much as it could be. When you do not wear a bra, as you move your arms, reach, and lift, your pectoral muscle is strengthened.
Positron emission tomography. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine functional imaging technique that is used to observe metabolic processes in the body. The system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is introduced into the body on a biologically active molecule.
A PET scan is a unique type of imaging test that reveals physiologic processes in organs such as the lung. The PET scans were examined by 12 raters, 10 neurologists, and two psychiatrists, none of whom were informed of any details of the patients' cases.
