Περιγραφή
- Presents the key physical principles and clinical applications of functional BOLD MRI
- Explores clinical applications of BOLD functional MRI in motor, sensory, language, and cognitive systems
- Examines the use of BOLD functional MRI in epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, and psychopharmacology
- Covers the technical and clinical challenges associated with functional BOLD MRI
This book presents the basic principles and new and emergent clinical applications of BOLD fMRI. It describes the physical principles of BOLD fMRI imaging and reviews scanning methodologies, data analysis, challenges and limitations of BOLD fMRI, neurovascular uncoupling, and functional connectivity. The book also explores current and future clinical applications of BOLD fMRI in the fields of language, memory, fMRI WADA, visual pathway, brain mapping of eloquent cortex, pediatrics, auditory pathways, epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, pharmacological applications, and cognitive neuroscience. It concludes with a discussion of BOLD fMRI paradigms that can be used for clinical and cognitive experiments. Derived from Faro, Mohamed, Law, and Ulmers Functional Neuroradiology: Principles and Applications, this book is a valuable resource for neurologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and neuroradiologists.
