    Diagnosis Destinations Aphasia Research

    "Aphasia research is exploring new ways to evaluate and treat aphasia as well as to further understanding of the function of the brain. Brain imaging techniques are helping to define brain function, determine the severity of brain damage and predict the severity of the aphasia. These procedures include PET (positron emission tomography), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) as well as the new functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) which identifies areas of the brain that are utilized during activities such as speaking or listening. In-depth testing of the language ability of individuals with the various aphasic syndromes is helping to design effective treatment strategies. The use of computers in aphasia treatment is being studied. Promising new drugs administered shortly after some types of stroke are being investigated as ways to reduce the severity of aphasia."
