| | Functional imaging results are compared with all conventional mapping studies performed on each patient including the WADA test, intraoperative cortical stimulation, electrophysiological assessments, and neurologic assessments of surgical outcome. | | | The experience of chronic and persistent pain is a debilitating condition for which the role of cortical processing is not well understood. | | | During a typical functional imaging series, 30 images are acquired in a 90 sec run where the initial and last 10 images are baseline conditions and the middle 10 images (30 secs) are acquired during a task. |

| | Functional magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (or fMRI) describes the use of MRI to measure the hemodynamic response related to neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans or other animals. | | | Although it is not strictly a functional imaging technique because it does not measure dynamic changes in brain function, the measures of inter-area connectivity it provides are complementary to images of cortical function provided by BOLD fMRI. | | | Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRS) is another, NMR-based process for assessing function within the living brain. |

| | MRI causes no pain, but there may be discomfort from being closed in or from the need to keep your head very still. | | | A radiologist, who is a physician experienced in MRI and other radiology examinations, will analyze the images and send a signed report with his or her interpretation to the patient's referring physician. | | | Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a relatively new procedure that uses MR imaging to measure the quick, tiny metabolic changes that take place in an active part of the brain. |

| | Functional MRI Imaging |
| | Functional MRI is a new and powerful neuroimaging technique that can create an anatomical and functional model of an individual patient's brain. | | | Historically, neurosurgeons have mapped cortical function invasively by direct electrical stimulation of the cortex, either intra-operatively using a hand held stimulator or extra-operatively using chronically implanted subdural grids. | | | Finally, the functional MR images are then co-registered, fused and volume rendered with the anatomic images using both surface and volume based matching techniques [ANALYZE, Mayo Clinic] 8. |
