All of the following statements describe methods to scan the body for cancer except for one. Select the method that is mismatched.

A. Diagnostic mammograms are detailed scans that look at specific areas of the breast, often after a suspicious lump is found. B. Computerized tomography (CT) scans use radio waves and magnets to obtain a detailed picture of organs within the body. C. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans function to examine how cells of the body function. Sugars with a radioactive tracer are introduced to the body. Active cells take up more of the sugar and are therefore more visible on the scan. D. Screening mammograms are routine X-rays of breast tissue for anyone over the age of 40 or those with a previous history of breast cancer.
