Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) involves the use of a helmet-like device that is placed on the patient's head to measure magnetic fields produced by the brain's electrical activity. No radioactive tracer or electrodes are involved in this technique. Similarly, MEG does not require the patient to be slid into a tube that has a magnet circling around them as is the case in MRI.
