A brain scanner is, quite simply, a device used to scan (image) the brain. In the recent decades, we have advanced medical technology through applied physics to spawn a variety of medical imaging equipment. And imaging has really bloomed. We want to look at the structure of the brain as a guide to treatment of injury or disease as well as for research. The term brain scanner has fallen by the wayside because there are several different methods of imaging the skull and its contents. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and it preferred or avoided in a given investigation. We normally specify the type of imaging we are going to do. We may need a cranial X-ray or we may want a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) picture to look at what's going on inside someone's head. Perhaps a PET scan (positron emission tomography) is ordered by a physician.
