Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positron emission tomography (PET) uses radioactive glucose to detect active areas in the brain.

Answer: B
 Electroencephalogram (EEG) reveals patterns of electrical activity in the brain.

Answer: D
 Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of brain activity.

Answer: A
 Computerized axial tomography (CAT) uses x-rays to create cross-sectional images of the brain.
