Getting the measure of MRI

Oxford University scientists have come up with a new approach for measuring neurophysiology with quantitative images of cerebrovascular parameters are created from a single scan. This new approac improves  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that produces pictures of changes in brain activity into a full numerical measure of how the brain is working. Doctors may be able to use this new MRI approach to provide a lot more clinically useful information about patients coming in with strokes, brain injuries or a variety of other conditions.
