Neuroimaging was developed as a non-invasive and objective technique for studying the function and structure of the normal human brain, utilizing quantitative computational methods. The utilization of quantitative research in the study of neurological and mental health disorders is experiencing a notable increase. While there are post-residency programs offered in the field of Neuro-Radiology, it is important to note that neuroimaging is not recognized as an independent medical specialty. An increasing number of studies are placing emphasis on matters pertaining to rehabilitation. Hence, possessing a fundamental understanding of the prevailing neuroimaging approaches is crucial for comprehending and analyzing this rapidly evolving research area. This article provides an overview of the signal source, reviews the advantages and limitations associated with the techniques, and presents a comprehensive evaluation of the field. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has materialized as a prominent tool within the realm of rehabilitation science due to its widespread utilization and significance.
