Functional studies of the human brain using high-speed magnetic resonance imaging.
Dramatic technical advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or NMR) scanning speed and recent governmental approval for the routine use of NMR contrast agents have yielded techniques for quantitative imaging of cerebral hemodynamics.  The technical basis of ultrafast imaging, the methodology of dynamic imaging with contrast agents, and results in normal subjects and patients are presented.
