What is a MRI FUNCTIONAL(SPEECH & MOTOR)?

MRI Functional (Speech & Motor) is a specialized functional MRI examination that maps brain areas responsible for speech, language, and motor functions. It is performed to support neurological evaluation and pre-surgical planning, particularly when a brain lesion is located near important functional areas.

FAQs

Is MRI Functional (Speech & Motor) different from a routine brain MRI?

Yes. A routine brain MRI primarily evaluates the structure and anatomy of the brain, whereas functional MRI additionally evaluates brain activity associated with speech, language, and movement tasks.

Is this examination useful before brain surgery?

Yes. It can provide important information for pre-surgical brain mapping, helping the surgical team identify functional areas that may need to be preserved during treatment.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Usually, no special preparation is required. Inform the MRI team about metallic implants, pacemakers, previous surgeries, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, and other implanted medical devices.

How does functional MRI detect brain activity?

Functional MRI detects changes in blood oxygenation and blood flow associated with increased activity in specific regions of the brain. These changes are used to identify and map functional areas.
