Document Summary

2-d images combined to create a 3d image. Good at looking at bones, muscles, large ventricles. Use x-rays as a many source to create images. Produces 2d and 3d images with high spatial resolution. Brain passes through magnetic field and aligns the poles of your atoms. Can detect parts of structures that others cannot: rey bodies, different forms of myelination. Mri that looks just as oxygen atoms. Requires radioactive substances to be injected to make it"s way to the brain. Specifically looks at where oxygen is being picked up. Oxygen goes to the parts of the brain where it is most active. Provides both structural and functional information in one image. Can create 3d images of activity over the entire brain. A measure of the average electrical active of the brain. Which of the part of the brain is responsible for activating or inhibiting that behaviour: mapping.
