Morphological Measurement
MRI provides
versatile and superior contrasts (T1 and T2) between various
tissues. For example, T1 can be used to locate tumors in the
brain in vivo or to observe changes in the abdominal fat pad,
while T2 can be used to examine bone regeneration and
hydrocephalus regions in the brain.
Functional MRI requires
post-processing techniques after MRI data are collected.
