Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which neuroimaging method is similar to an X-ray, but provides a more sensitive picture of possible brain abnormalities?
A
CT
B
PET
C
MEG
D
MRI
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnetic resonance imaging is the structural imaging tool of choice. It is superior to radiographic CT in terms of both sensitivity and specificity for the identification of small lesions and abnormalities of the cerebral cortex.

Detailed explanation-3: -Computed tomography (CT) scans are oblique X-ray slices that show the density of brain structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -CT. A computerized tomography (CT) scan is a series of X-ray images converted into cross-sectional images of your brain. These X-rays are combined to form cross-sectional slices or even a 3-D model of your brain. The results of a CT scan can also provide more detail than a standard X-ray.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive test doctors use to diagnose medical conditions. MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radiofrequency pulses, and a computer to produce detailed pictures of internal body structures. MRI does not use radiation (x-rays).
