| FUNCTIONAL AND SPECTROSCOPY MRI (fMRI,
sMRI) |
 MRI provides an anatomical view of the brain. MRI
uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce highquality
two- or three dimensional images of brain
structures without injecting radioactive tracers. MRI
uses the detection of radio frequency signals produced
by displaced radio waves in a magnetic field.
Functional MRI (fMRI) relies on the magnetic properties
of blood to enable scientists to see images of blood
flow in the brain as it is occurring. An fMRI scan can
also produce high-quality images that can pinpoint
exactly which areas of the brain are being activated.
fMRI provides superior image clarity along with the
ability to assess blood flow and brain function in
seconds.
Spectroscopy MRI, on the other hand, is used to
detect the chemistry of an area of the brain. This scan
can further investigate an area of abnormality identified
on a routine MRI scan.
MRI EEG is a system that allows for a concurrent
assessment of the chemical and electrical functions
of the brain.
The NPiSTANBUL Hospital makes use of Philips® 1.5
Tesla MRI model. It is the first hospital in Turkey that
includes MRI for an electrophysiological use. |
