clinical fMRI

Clinical fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is a medical imaging technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. When a specific part of the brain is active, it requires more oxygen, leading to increased blood flow in that region. By capturing these changes, clinicians can identify which areas are involved in functions like movement, speech, or memory. This helps in planning surgeries, diagnosing brain conditions, or understanding neurological issues, providing valuable information about how different parts of the brain work in a safe, non-invasive way.
