[[w:Single-Photon Emission Computer Tomography|Single-Photon Emission Computer Tomography]] (SPECT) and [[w:Positron Emission Tomography|Positron Emission Tomography]] (PET) use radioactive tracers which are taken up where blood flow is greater. SPECT and PET therefore provide images of blood flow (again, considered by most scientists as a sign of greater brain activity) in different parts of the brain. However, they do not provide as much anatomical detail as MRI or CT scans.
