The Teenage Brain 1. What is an MRI? How are they using them to study the teenage brain? An MRI is a magnetic resonance imaging. It is technology that maps the blood flow to the areas of the brain as their exposed to various stimuli. They are using MRI to study teenage brain by comparing the blood flow of adults when they get stimuli to teenagers when get stimuli by various activities. 2. What is the number one reason teenagers are different? What does the Frontal Lobe do to suggest this? The number

Radiologists are physicians who performs and interprets diagnostic imaging tests and interventional procedures or treatments that involve the use of X-ray‚ ultrasound‚ and magnetic resonance imaging equipment. People often confuse between radiologists and radiologic technologists/radiology technicians‚ though there is a clear distinction between these two: technicians carry out the process of obtaining the images whereas radiologists take charge of interpreting the results. After the images are interpreted
