Abstract
The clinical application of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) makes the implementation of dedicated imaging protocols mandatory that measure specific functions of the human brain validly in short scanning times. Clinical fMRI requires – in contrast to research applications – the analysis of data from individual patients to achieve an fMRI diagnosis. To this end, the paradigms need to be applicable also in patients with neurologic, linguistic or other cognitive deficits. Clinical fMRI protocols typically consist of a set of different paradigms to better assess complex brain functions (e.g., language, memory) and/or to enhance the validity of the fMRI results through reproduction. In this paper, optimized clinical fMRI protocols for motor, somatosensory and language function are proposed.
