Answer to Question 1

A
CT can image brain structures through a series of radiographs that are computer constructed into slices of the brain that can be stacked by the computer, giving the image a three-dimensional appearance. PET and SPECT image brain activity and function through the tracking of radioactive substances as they travel through the brain. BEAM images brain activity and function through recordings of the brain's electrical activity.

Answer to Question 2

F
