• functional magnetic resonance imaging

• functional miraculous resonance imaging

• function medical resonance imaging

• functional magnetic renaissance imaging

What does CT stand for?

• computed axial tomography

• compound axis telography

• confused alone teacher

What does Electroencephalography do?

• Track anatomical structure

• Examines neurons to track electrical signals in the brain

• Detect lesions early

• Make images of the brain

These are computer-aided x-rays of the brain that show a great deal of brain structure.

• CAT scan

• MRI scan

• PET scan

• EEG

This technology is good for sleep research.

• EEG

• MRI
