technique that uses magnetic fields and radio wavesto produce computer-generated images of soft tissue. These scans show brain anatomy.
A
electroencephalogram (EEG)
B
CT (computed tomography)
C
PET (positron emission tomography)
D
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
E
fMRI (functional MRI)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in your body. Most MRI machines are large, tube-shaped magnets.

Detailed explanation-2: -An MRI scan uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create a detailed, cross-sectional image of internal organs and structures. The scanner itself typically resembles a large tube with a table in the middle, allowing the patient to slide in.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. MRIs are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful magnets. You lie inside the tube during the scan.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
