Description

Functional Neuroradiology is defined as imaging of the functional aspects of the central nervous system, which encompasses emerging techniques including Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Functional MRI, Diffusion Imaging, Perfusion Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Magnetoencephalography, Positron Emission Tomography, and Molecular and Metabolic Imaging. This book is a comprehensive overview and provides significant information on functional neuroradiology, including the physical principles and clinical applications of the advanced techniques. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book. This book is richly illustrated with figures, diagrams, and tables. The book contains different chapters based on the original research work by eminent academicians and scientists. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts. It is our hope that this book will give a thorough knowledge of this new field and will be a reference to all physicians and cognitive neuroscientists, of the current and emerging clinical applications of the field.
