Neurological Imaging Techniques

Neurological imaging techniques are medical methods used to visualize the brain and nervous system. Common types include MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), which uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of brain structures, and CT (Computed Tomography) scans, which combine multiple X-rays for a comprehensive view. Another technique, PET (Positron Emission Tomography), shows brain activity by tracking a small amount of radioactive material. These techniques help doctors diagnose conditions like tumors, strokes, and neurological disorders by providing insights into the brain's structure and function without invasive procedures.
