Introduction :

What Is Measurement
Of
Brain Activity?
Most common methods :

CT Scan PET Scan

EEG Scan fMRI Scan

fMRI :

What is
functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging?
Working principle :

fMRI Components :
 Primary Magnet
 Coils (Gradient & RF)
 Computer
Working principle :
softwares used :

• AFNI
• Brain Voyager
• nordicBrainEx
• FreeSurfer
Report analysis :
ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER
TECHNIQUES:

 Non-invasive unlike PET scan.

 Better spatial resolution than PET
scan.
 No exposure to radiation unlike CT
scan.
Limitations :

 Works on the principle of blood flow.

 It is expensive compared to other
methods.
 Patient’s movement can affect the
quality of images.
