Functional Ultrasound Imaging from Scratch

Automated excerpt

Functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) is a brain imaging modality that is just starting to be demonstrated in human studies. I’m sure many will be familiar with structural ultrasound imaging, which forms static images using ultrasound, as in a sonogram1. Functional ultrasound instead captures movies of brain tissue very rapidly, tracking subtle changes caused by the blood flow that follows neural activity. Functional ultrasound imaging was first demonstrated by Macé et al. (2011).
