| Magnetic resonance imaging is used primarily as a technique for producing anatomical images. Observing biological events such as the heart beating or blood flowing through a vein requires very fast, almost continuous image acquisition. Advances in computing power and signal processing have allowed the use MRI to study these and other dynamic processes. An outgrowth of this has been the use of MRI to non-invasively map cortical function. Dubbed "functional magnetic resonance imaging," this new process has provided a wealth of information for neurologists, psychologists, and surgeons. |
