1 CAT: x-ray images combined by a computer to create 3-D image of the brain. MRI: produces still images by using radio waves pulses to make a 2-D or 3-D map of tissues. fMRI: produces moving images (3-D) of brain structures. PET: a type of nuclear medicine, which studies the metabolism of a certain organs/tissues so that information can be evaluated an may detect biochemical changes. EEG: ?print out? of brain waves. EEG?s recognizes the patterns and voltage changes in the brain. Advantages of: CAT: able to viewed on a monitor MRI: clear detailed images fMRI: higher resolution, easier to carryout PET: localization. Real time images, etc. EEG: provides a better understanding of behaviors such as: sleep, emotions, and epilepsy Disadvantages of:
