Question

A brain-imaging method called ________ takes advantage of the magnetic properties of different atoms to take sharp, three-dimensional images of the brain.
A) electroencephalography (EEG)
B) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
C) positron emission magnetography (PEM)
D) computed tomography (CT)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses the magnetic properties of atoms to create detailed images of the brain. EEG measures electrical activity in the brain, PEM measures photon emissions from radioactive substances, and CT uses X-rays to create images.
