Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the technology most commonly used to assess a patient's level of consciousness and neural activity in the case of a coma. It measures electrical activity in the brain and can help physicians monitor brain function over time. PET, CT, and fMRI are all imaging techniques that provide different types of information about the brain, but they are not typically used to monitor patients in a coma.
