    of brain imaging as described by Raichle (2009) begins with the introduction of computerized tomography (CT) in the early 1970s and development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shortly thereafter, which prompted the invent and use of positron emission tomography (PET), and then functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which came in the 1990s (p.119). Since then other forms of brain scanning technology have appeared such as the Magnetoencephalography (MEG) scan, and other variations of PET

    MRI is a medical imaging technique used to visualize detailed internal structures of the body and makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body. MRI is used over other medical imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) or X-rays, since it provides contrast between the soft tissues of the body, making it especially useful in imaging the brain. Additionally, CT is considered to be unhelpful in cases of intractable epilepsy [29]. Conventional

    Introduction Positron emission tomography is used for research and medical diagnosis of soft tissue in humans and animals. It uses radioactive drug tracers that are swallowed, injected, or inhaled into the body, to produce radioactive emissions that are then detected with a computer tomographer (Mayo Clinic 2013). This computer tomographer creates an image much like a camera makes an image on film, when exposed to light (Denniston 2014). The scans are then used to produce three dimensional images
