Task-evoked and resting-state (rs) fMRI techniques have been applied to clinical management of neurological diseases, exemplified by pre-surgical functional mapping. Moreover, recent studies recommended incorporating cerebrovascular reactivity imaging into clinical fMRI to evaluate the risk of lesion-induced neurovascular uncoupling. However, a specialized clinical software that integrates the three complementary fMRI techniques and promptly outputs results to clinical PACS and surgical navigation system remains lacking. Here, we developed the Integrated fMRI for Clinical Research (IClinfMRI) software package to incorporate these advanced fMRI methods with streamlined processing and shortened the processing time for pre-surgical mapping and other clinical applications.
