Computerized axial tomography (CAT scan) is a type of X-ray imaging that produces detailed images of the brain. It is commonly used in diagnosing dementia and other brain disorders. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique used to treat depression and other mental health conditions. Positron-emission tomography (PET scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also used for brain imaging, but they are less commonly used to diagnose dementia.
