fMRI: The Next Step |
| |
by Gillian Klucas |
| |
Functional MRI is revolutionizing the way scientists study how our brains work. It is
believed that one day new studies will lead to faster, more accurate diagnoses for many
types of brain disorders and diseases and to treating these maladies effectively. The
studies even may prove a biological basis for psychiatric disorders and abnormalities. |

manufacturers incorporate the advances in more medical imaging modalities and more
practitioners are trained in the patient-related nuances. In our RNSA 2002 Review, read where the digital revolution is having its greatest
impact and what to expect throughout the medical imaging industry in 2003. |
