Falcao is right. Both PET and CT are old technologies, and they have nothing to do with MRI. MRI is also fairly old. The funny thing is the letter was posted by a Dr. Trevor Colaco on a religious website. Assuming this doctor is in the medical field, how he did not know these facts about PET, CT and MRI is puzzling.
