Clinical translation of central nervous system fMRI: challenges and promises

Abstract

Over recent 30 years, fMRI has emerged as one of the most popular brain imaging techniques with highly spatiotemporal resolution and noninvasiveness, and has promoted the development of brain science. However, it still faces numerous challenges in the application of clinical translation. Based on the principles, technical research and development, and clinical applications, this review will discuss existing problems and future directions of fMRI.
