(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in quiz.

This question is from FMRI in section Diagnostic Investigation via Imaging Techniques of Clinical Science

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

The best explanation: fMRI is an expensive process and the hardware and software needed are also very advanced. It is better to use fMRI for study and research purposes for this reason of expense. Also, the medical needs can be diagnosed with a simple MRI. As of now, no researches have not come up with any conditions that can be better diagnosed with a fMRI so it is better suited for research and study purposes.
