What is the basic difference between mri and fmri imaging techniques? mri is less invasive mri carries less risk to the patient fmri provides less detail fmri allows for real-time observations of changes in brain activity neither shows soft tissue structures of the brain?

The basic difference between MRI and fMRI imaging techniques is that MRI provides less detail  

Explanation:

MRI stand for magnetic Resonance Imaging and fMRI stand for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. FMRI is more efficient as they detect those abnormalities in the brain that can not be detected by any other imaging techniques. They even measure the slightest changes in the blood flows and blood oxygen level during any activities by the brain.  

MRI machines are used for imaging the structure of brain. fMRI is costlier than MRI.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
