Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is the best choice to confirm or disprove a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury as it provides detailed images of the brain's structure and can detect any abnormalities or injuries in the brain's tissue. TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), fMRI (Functional MRI), and EEG (Electroencephalography) are useful tools in studying brain function but are less effective in diagnosing physical brain injuries.
