Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positron emission tomography (PET) is the brain-imaging method in which radioactive sugar is injected into the subject and a computer compiles a color-coded image of the activity of the brain. Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical activity in the brain using electrodes, computed tomography (CT) uses X-rays to produce detailed images of the brain, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) uses magnetic fields to visualize brain activity.
