A Prospective Study of Role of Functional MRI in Suspects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, characterized by daytime impairment, affects approximately 1 in 20 adults and can lead to a range of behavioral and cardiovascular abnormalities. Understanding the underlying causes and identifying the specific obstructions within the upper airway is crucial for effective management of this condition. Sleep MRI has emerged as a valuable tool in accurately diagnosing OSA by providing detailed insights into the level, magnitude, and type of obstruction present in affected individuals.
