Different types of brain imaging: MRI scanners utilize strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to produce images of the internal organs in the body. MRA, a specialized form of MRI, focuses specifically on the body's blood vessels. CT scans, on the other hand, are a series of X-ray images transformed into cross-sectional images of the brain. PET scans involve the use of a radioactive tracer that binds to glucose in the bloodstream. As the brain primarily relies on glucose for fuel, the tracer accumulates in regions with high brain activity.
