Quantify brain structure

Compare and contrast different structural neuroimaging techniques

Neuroimaging falls into two broad categories:
  • Structural imaging, which is used to quantify brain structure using e,g, voxel based morphometry.
  • Functional imaging, which is used to study brain function, often using fMRI and other techniques such as PET and MEG (see below).
  • functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) computerized tomography (CT) positron emission tomography (PET) electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG)
