Recently I saw a episode of medical detecives in Discovery channel. In this 
particular case a Mother is suffering from " Mauschensen syndrome by proxy " 
and she cleared the LIE DETECTOR test. But later evidences proved that she is 
lying. So my question is is there any foolproof methode through the PET scans 
or any other scan to identify wheather the person is lying or not
