The progression or treatment of multiple sclerosis may be measured by a group of diagnostic tests that measure changes and responses in brainwaves elicited by stimuli called
A) electroencephalography
B) PET scan
C) MRI scan
D) evoked potential studies

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evoked potential studies measure changes and responses in brainwaves elicited by stimuli, which can be useful in measuring the progression or treatment of multiple sclerosis. Electroencephalography (A) measures electrical activity in the brain but is not specific to multiple sclerosis. PET scans (B) measure changes in blood flow and metabolism in the brain and are not typically used as a diagnostic tool for multiple sclerosis. MRI scans (C) can show lesions in the brain that are indicative of multiple sclerosis but do not measure changes in brainwaves.
