Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has attracted a large number of researchers and many of them have contributed significant work regarding brain function mapping. The fMRI experiments are used to identify the abnormal functional connectivity (AFC) and dynamic functional connectivity (DFC). Many abnormalities are also detected by blood oxygen level dependent BOLD-fMRI. MRI and fMRI are two different sides of a coin. Both these techniques shall be helpful for the diagnosis if corresponding images elucidate the significant facts. Visualization of particular structure obtained in MRI and fMRI in order to analyze the abnormality, can be enhanced by proper image processing techniques. Hence, researchers have developed various technique and algorithms so as to yield perfect conclusion with regard to MRI and fMRI scan. The detailed review of the analysis of fMRI in order to understand and analyze fMRI scans are explored in this research paper.
Keywords: AFC, BOLD, MRI, fMRI.
