11 Types of Brain Imaging Techniques - Psychology Basics
In this session 11 major brain imaging techniques are explained viz. , CT Scan, X ray, MRI, fMRI, PET Scan, DBS, NIRS, MRS and more by Dr. Manishika Jain.
- Neuroimaging either directly or indirectly image the structure, function, or pharmacology of the brain.
- Structural imaging and functional imaging.
- Structural imaging- structure of the brain and the diagnosis of large-scale intracranial disease (such as a tumor) , as well as injury.
- Functional imaging- diagnose metabolic diseases and lesions on a finer scale (such as Alzheimer՚s disease) , and also for neurological and cognitive-psychology research.
- Allows the brain՚s information processing to be visualized directly.
- EEG shows brain activity (alertness or drowsiness)
- PET scans show brain processes by using the sugar glucose in the brain.
- MRI scans echo waves to discriminate among grey matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid.
- Functional MRI scans measure brain function via a computer՚s combination of multiple images taken less than a second apart.
