Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain's structure and function. The person lies in the magnetic field, and the radio waves cause the hydrogen atoms in the brain to emit signals that are picked up by the MRI machine and converted into images. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CBF (Cerebral Blood Flow) use different techniques to measure brain activity, and CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) is primarily used to detect structural abnormalities in the brain.
