PET scan or CT if you don't mind radiation exposure

These days MRI is safe on people with newer internal metallic structures, as long as it's not a pacemaker

Cool, thanks. My textbook says no neuroimaging devices can be used for people with pacemakers and stuff, and it says that CT and PET are neuroimaging techniques, but I guess it's wrong? Or maybe I misunderstood it.

Ask your teacher to be safe?
I'm going based just on the principles of the test

yeah, i think i'm using the same text book as you!!! it wasn't that clear for me either........

anyway, i found an awesome website that has the full psych course on it!!!!! and at the moment, it's free to get one course!!!!!

heres a link to the video that explains CT, PET and MRI - she's an awesome teacher.... my sister recognised her from a vce exam revision day last year.
