This doctor must re-learn what in fact a PET scan does. First of all a PET uses tagged glucose to measure uptake in the brain. A MRI evaluates structures in the brain....all of which can remain normal in a person post hypoxic encephalopathy....and mean absolutely nothing.

You're claiming that the DCF neurologist doesn't know what a PET scan does? Based on what?
