E) light microscope scan; vesicles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a type of MRI that measures the diffusion of water molecules in tissue. This allows for the visualization and tracking of white matter tracts, which are bundles of axons that connect different regions of the brain. DTI does not label collections of cell bodies or dendrites, making choices A, D, and E incorrect. CAT scans (choice B) use X-rays to produce detailed images of internal structures, but do not provide the labeling of specific structures like DTI does.
