Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Visual Stimulation
About This Article
Descriptions
We evaluted functional magnetic resonance images obtained in 8 healthy subjects in response to visual stimulation using a conventional slinical magnetic resonance imaging system with multi-slice spin-echo echo planar imaging. Activation in the visual cortex was clearly demonstrated by the multi-slice experiment with a task-related change in signal intensity. In addition to the primary visual cortex, other areas were also activated by a complicated visual task. Multi-slice spin-echo echo planar imaging offers high temporal resolution and allows the three-dimensional analysis of brain function. Functional magnetic resonance imaging provides a useful noninvasive method of mapping brain function.
