The different types of MRI scans include anatomical, functional, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), perfusion, and spectroscopic. Anatomical scans provide detailed images of the brain's structure, while functional scans measure blood flow and activity in different parts of the brain during a task or activity. DTI is used to visualize white matter fiber tracts and track their movement over time. Perfusion scans show how well the blood is flowing through the brain, and spectroscopic scans measure chemical changes within specific areas of the brain.
