| Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) | Imaging technique using variations in magnetic fields to produce 3-dimensional images of the brain or other organs with better resolution that CT scans. |
| Positron emission tomography(PET) | Imaging technique that measures metabolic activity(such as glucose levels) as an indication of the functioning of the brain or other organ. |
