Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the brain and other internal organs. This technique can visualize both the brain structures and changes in blood flow in different brain regions, allowing for the identification of abnormalities or disorders. Option B describes positron emission tomography (PET), option C describes electroencephalography (EEG), and option D describes computed tomography (CT).
