Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
fMRI uses which of the following to produce a 3D image of the brain?
A
A magnetic field
B
Sound waves
C
Radio waves
D
An electric field
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -fMRI is derived from structural MRI. In fact, they both use the same machine, called a magnetic resonance scanner (Figure 1). MRI technology is used to create detailed, 3D images of the internal structure of an object using magnetic fields and radio waves [1].

Detailed explanation-2: -As a result, findings of MRI studies are often presented in 2D instead. A solution is to create figures that include perspective and can convey 3D information; such figures can sometimes be produced by standard functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis packages and related specialty programs.

Detailed explanation-3: -fMRI is of course based on MRI, which in turn uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance coupled with gradients in magnetic field38 to create images that can incorporate many different types of contrast such as T1 weighting, T2 weighting, susceptibility, flow, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -fMRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a way to take pictures inside the body using a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images.
