What is Functional MRI?
Functional MRI (fMRI) is an advanced imaging technique that assesses brain activity by measuring changes in blood flow. It is important for identifying different brain problems, learning about how the brain works, and monitoring how the brain works during particular tasks or signals. Unlike regular MRI, fMRI does not use X-rays or harmful rays and gives detailed information about how the brain works and its shape or arrangement.
The fMRI process involves capturing images over time, allowing clinicians to visualize areas of the brain that are activated during different tasks, providing valuable data for cognitive and behavioral assessments.
