Brain imaging

Brain imaging is used to understand the relationships between specific areas of the brain and what function they serve, locate the areas of the brain that are affected by neurological disorders, and develop new strategies to treat brain disorders by using Computed Tomography Scan (CT Scan), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and Angiography.
