Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Computed tomographic scanning, also known as CT or CAT scanning, is a specialized type of X-ray that uses computer processing to produce detailed images of various parts of the body, including the brain. CT scans are often used to identify tumors, as they can distinguish between different types of tissues based on their densities. Electroencephalography, positron emission tomography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging are other imaging techniques that may be used for brain imaging, but they are not X-ray-based methods.
