Rotating an X-ray detector around a person's head to form a three-dimensional representation of their brain is an example of computerized tomography (CT scan). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also provides three-dimensional images of the brain, but it uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves, not X-rays, to generate images. Intracranial cellular recording, electrocardiography, and electroencephalography are not involved in this imaging technique.
