Brain Imaging

Psych

EEG

Measures electrical activity in the brain and is useful for epilepsy and sleep disorder studies.

CT Scan

Combines multiple X-ray images to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the body.

PET Scan

Detects brain activity via radioactive glucose tracking, visualizing metabolic processes during tasks.

MRI

Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues.

fMRI

Measures blood flow and brain activity, showing both brain function and structure.

MEG

Measures magnetic fields from brain activity, providing insights into neural processes in real time.

Role of EEG in medical diagnosis

Utilized to study electrical activity for conditions like epilepsy and sleep disorders.

Function of CT imaging

Provides detailed images by combining multiple X-ray scans.

What does PET Scan visualize?

Metabolic processes in the brain during tasks using radioactive glucose.

What is the primary use of fMRI?

To measure and visualize brain function along with its structure.
