A Comprehensive Literature Review of Application of Artificial Intelligence in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Disease Diagnosis

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI) is a noninvasive test to analyze several medical ailments by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect the abnormalities in the active part of the brain and evaluate the minute changes in the blood flow, which cannot otherwise be accomplished with other imaging techniques. With its vast applications in healthcare, it has become one of the most explored studies by the researcher’s community, therefore, the current paper aims to address a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) of the application of FMRI in healthcare. The SLR scrutinized and assessed the currently available literature using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The chief motive of conducting SLR on the current research was to eradicate the biases and make it more systematic as compared to the informal literature review. The outcomes of the review state that due to accessibility of the public datasets and the data augmentation practices, the application of FMRI in Healthcare has remarkably raised from the last five years and its application is practically available for every disease diagnosis. The performance of the diagnosis of the disease is more effectual and proficient as equal to the human experts performing it manually.
