Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CT scanning uses X-ray technology to create images of the brain. The patient is exposed to a small amount of ionizing radiation, and the X-rays are detected and analyzed by a computer to produce a detailed image. Other options mentioned, such as EEG (electroencephalography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and PET (positron emission tomography), involve different technologies and methods of brain imaging.
