My thoughts Dr Essam Hassan Why functional resonance imaging fMRI)

Thoughts by Dr. Essam Hassan
Why is functional MRI (fMRI) important in our neurosensory rehabilitation protocol?

FMI is crucial in my work for one main reason:

I don't just deal with behavior or language from the outside… I need to understand what's happening inside the child's brain during the activity itself.

FMI gives me three essential pieces of information:

1. Areas of deficit or functional inactivity
Is the problem in the frontal lobe? In the language pathway? In the sensory foci? This tells me exactly where to direct stimulation and which cognitive exercises to start with.

2. Affected brain circuits
Sometimes language is delayed, but the reason isn't language itself… the reason is an attention circuit, working memory, or an active fear network. MRI clearly reveals this.

3. Determining the intensity and duration of the protocol
Without MRI, I would work in a general way. With resonance, I work meticulously on:
- Pen pressure
- Number of points
- Stimulation duration
- Type of accompanying exercises
- Even the order of sessions

In short: Functional resonance allows me to create a personalized and intensive therapy program for your child, rather than applying a general protocol to all children. This shortens the rehabilitation period, reduces errors, and makes development faster and more noticeable.
