Produktbeschreibung

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures quick, tiny metabolic changes that take place in the brain, providing the most sensitive method currently available for identifying, investigating, and monitoring brain tumors, stroke, and chronic disorders of the nervous system like multiple sclerosis, and brain abnormalities related to dementia or seizures. This overview explains the principles of fMRI, scanning methodlogies, experimental design and data analysis, and outlines challenges and limitations of fMRI. It also provides a detailed neuroanatomic atlas, and describes clinical applications of fMRI in cognitive, sensory, and motor cases, translating research into clinical application.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"The articles are written ... to introduce a field of study to the reader and to summarize the advancement. ... This book can be a choice to fill in the background knowledge and be used as a reference. ... the book's theme is about the science and experiments of fMRI. A reader who has some experience in fMRI and is interested in the fundamentals or exploring different areas of fMRI application can benefit from this concise overview and the bibliographies." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, July, 2011)
