Types of Brain Scans
EEG (electroencephalograph)o recording of electrical signals from the brain
made by hooking up electrodes to the person's scalp
CATo Combines many 2-D x-ray images to create 3-D
images of inter structures such as the brain
There are 5 types of brain scans:

Types of Brain Scans (continued)
PETo Shows the brain’s radioactivity levels in a
color coded brain map
MEGo Measures magnetic fields released from the
brain, then sends the currents to an instrument called SQUID

Types of Brain Scans (continued)
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)o Uses a strong magnetic field and radio
waves to create a digital picture of internal organs and structures

• Neurological examination• Cognitive testing• Imaging tests
o Treatments
• Rest• Avoiding physical activities• Avoid taking medications like Advil that will
increase bleeding

Brain Cancers
o Benign tumor (non-cancerous cell growth)
o Malignant tumors (cancerous cell growth)
o Tumors that begin in brain rarely spread to other areas of the body
• Push on tissues unlike malignant tumors
• More aggressive• Invade tissues unlike benign tumors
There are two types of brain tumors:

How To Keep the Brain Healthyo Eat healthy snacks• Snacks such as almonds and blueberries improve
cognition• helps the brain’s functions
o Go for a walk• Walking 20 minutes a day can maximize blood flow
to the brain• helps the brain think more clearly
o Take Chinese Club Moss Supplements
• May protect your brain's neurotransmitters• Keeps synapses firing correctly

How To Keep The Brain Healthy (continued)o Drink Red Wine• delivers the powerful antioxidant
resveratrol• may prevent free radicals from
damaging brain cells
o Keep Calendars• keeps you focused and oriented
o Get Enough Sleep
• brain consolidates memories
