Funtional MRI (fMRI)

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) uses MR imaging
to measure the tiny metabolic changes that take place in an active part of the brain.

fMRI* can be used to:

  • Examine the anatomy of the brain
  • Determine precisely which part of the brain is handling critical functions such as thought, speech, movement and sensation
  • Monitor the growth and function of brain tumors
  • Help assess the effects of stroke, trauma or degenerative disease (such as Alzheimer’s) on brain function
  • Assist in the planning of surgery, radiation therapy, or other surgical treatments for the brain including planning for seizure surgery, replacing more invasive testing

*This enhancement was made possible through generous support from Leap for a Cure and the Methodist Hospital Foundation.

To schedule an appointment, call (402) 354-4001, ext. 11.
