Although conventional MR imaging techniques play a crucial role in the examination of the central nervous system, these techniques can not give any information about functional properties of the brain tissue. Besides conventional MRI techniques, however, there are some MR methods enabling evaluation of these functional properties. These methods include functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging or diffusion tensor imaging, and voxel based morphometry. This article presents the basic physical concepts of the above-mentioned MR techniques and their applications in research and clinical practice.

Keywords: functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, voxel-based morphometry, brain
