Brain Imaging

Key Factors

EEG (Electroencephalogram)

• Measures electrical activity in the brain.

• Useful for epilepsy and sleep disorder studies.

CT (Computed Tomography) Scan

• Combines multiple X-ray images.

• Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the body.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scan

• Detects brain activity via radioactive glucose tracking.

• Visualizes metabolic processes during tasks.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

• Uses magnetic fields and radio waves.

• Produces detailed images of soft tissues.

fMRI (Functional MRI)

• Measures blood flow and brain activity.

• Shows both brain function and structure.

MEG (Magnetoencephalography)

• Measures magnetic fields from brain activity.

• Provides insights into neural processes in real time.
