The importance of MRI in Brain Research

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in brain research is extremely useful clinically and provides unprecedented resolution and contrast for studying the brain. We discuss the benefits of using an MRI to look for structural problems in the brain, particularly in patients with brain disorders. The many benefits of an MRI are discussed by Dr. John Detrick, a clinical scientist and Professor of Neurology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
