B) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
C) positron emission magnetography (PEM)
D) computed tomography (CT)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI takes advantage of the magnetic properties of different atoms to create detailed images of the brain. EEG measures electrical activity and is not three-dimensional. PEM measures the distribution of radioactive isotopes and is not as commonly used as MRI. CT uses X-rays to create images and is not as detailed as MRI.
