Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a structural imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain's anatomical structures. It is commonly used to diagnose neurological disorders and dementia in older adults. PET (Positron Emission Tomography), fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and NIRSI (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Imaging) are functional imaging tests that measure brain activity and blood flow, rather than providing detailed images of brain structures.
