Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI):
A) combines the ability to produce a detailed image of the brain's structures with the capacity to track the brain's activity and functioning.
B) involves injecting the participant with a radioactively tagged compound, such as glucose, that is tracked as it is used in different brain regions.
C) is limited because the participant cannot be repeatedly scanned.
D) produces brain images that are not as sharp as and are much less detailed than those produced by PET scans.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI combines the ability to produce a detailed image of the brain's structures with the capacity to track the brain's activity and functioning. It does not involve injecting the participant with a radioactively tagged compound like PET scans do. While there may be some limitations to the frequency of scans, fMRI can be used to scan the same individual multiple times. Finally, fMRI produces detailed and sharp images of brain activity.
