The description of a person lying down with their head in the center of a large "donut" and hearing a dull drumming sound is characteristic of an MRI scan. An MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of the brain and other soft tissue structures in the body, and can help diagnose headaches and other neurological conditions. A SET (single photon emission computed tomography) scan and PET (positron emission tomography) scan are imaging tests that involve injecting a radioactive substance into the bloodstream to measure brain activity, while an EEG (electroencephalogram) measures electrical activity in the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp.
