Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) Electroencephalography

Explanation

Ultrasound and echocardiography use piezoelectric transmit/receive elements; piezoelectric sensors can also detect mechanical heart sounds in phonocardiography. EEG measures scalp electrical potentials through electrodes, rather than converting mechanical vibration through a piezoelectric crystal. Thus D.
