A member asked:
Is it possible for mri scans to detect brain function loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI: Routine MRI can't assess function per se. Functional MRI(fMRI) is a technique that assesses brain function by measuring changes in blood flow to brain stuctures. However, fMRI is not in widespread clinical use, and is mostly in the research/experimental realm at this juncture.
