Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI is a technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to construct detailed images of a person's tissues and biochemical activities. It is often used in medical diagnosis to identify abnormalities in the brain and other parts of the body. MRI does not measure the rate at which brain cells use glucose, nor does it transduce the electrical activity of individual neurons. X rays do not construct three-dimensional images, although they can be used to produce two-dimensional images.
