An amazing, uplifting story.
Bravo to the surgeon in Seattle Children's Hospital!
A testament to modern technology and scientific/medical minds...beautiful story with hopefully a very happy ending for the young woman to continue doing what she loves!
Let's hope she stays well.They might have used this technology:
A brain positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that allows doctors to see how your brain is functioning. The scan captures images of the activity of the brain after radioactive “tracers” have been absorbed into the bloodstream. These tracers are “attached” to compounds like glucose (sugar). Glucose is the principal fuel of the brain.
