How many different types of Neural Imaging are there that are "non space invasive" ? and how common are they ?

Question

I need a scan of my brain done but am way too panicky with MRIs (even the open one doesnt work because of the claustrophobic mask cage they put on the head) I would like to know about different neural scans that are not "space invasive" for claustrophobics?

Answer 1

Try a cat scan. They put a gel like substance on you. Some of the machines go back and forth over your head, but it's not an enclosed machine like with an MRI. Hope this helped!
