A brain MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) primarily provides detailed images of brain structures and tissues, but it does not directly show blood flow. However, specialized MRI techniques such as functional MRI (fMRI) and MR angiography (MRA) can assess blood flow and vascular conditions. fMRI measures changes in blood oxygenation levels, which correlate with neural activity, while MRA visualizes blood vessels.
