Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Computerized axial tomography (CAT scan) is a technique that uses X-rays to create detailed images of the brain. It can help determine the location and extent of damage in cases of stroke and loss of memory. Brain lesioning, positron emission tomography (PET), and electroencephalogram (EEG) are also diagnostic techniques, but they may not be as specific for detecting damage caused by stroke and memory loss.
