The imaging technique that uses radioactive chemicals to produce a pictorial blueprint of brain activity is:
A)an electroencephalogram (EEG)
B)a computerized tomography scan (CT scan)
C)positron emission tomography (PET)
D)magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positron emission tomography (PET) is the only imaging technique among the options that uses radioactive chemicals to produce images of brain activity. EEG records electrical activity, CT scans use X-ray technology to produce detailed images of the brain's structure, and MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain's anatomy.
