Functional Imaging
Functional imaging is a form of medical imaging that allows doctors and researchers to detect changes in the body's functions over time. It is most commonly used to assess the function of the brain, heart, and other organs. By combining different types of imaging, such as electrical activity, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography, functional imaging can provide doctors with a better understanding of how a person's body functions. This understanding is critical for medical diagnosis, treatment, and research. In research, functional imaging can be used to better understand how different diseases affect the body's normal functions. In clinical practice, it is used to evaluate and diagnose a wide range of diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, and cancer.
