An fMRI monitors blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain.
fMRI is an abbreviation of functional magnetic resonance imaging that is used to show which areas of the brain are active while performing a specific task. Blood contains magnetic properties that change depending on how much oxygen it contains. When there is a change in the oxygen levels, the magnetic field changes slightly. This affects the protons close to the blood vessels in a way that can be measured with the fMRI scanner. When there are fewer red blood cells carrying oxygen the signal detected with the scanner is lower and when there are a lot of red blood cells carrying oxygen the signal detected is higher.
In contrast to fMRI, MRI can only be used to view the organs or blood vessels but cannot be used to monitor the blood flow. TMS is an abbreviation of transcranial magnetic stimulation which is a type of therapy usually used in depression cases when other treatments are not successful.
