Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : 2013.Edition: 2nd ed. 2013.Description: VI, 325 p. 107 illus., 85 illus. in color. online resource.ISBN: 9783642343421.Subject(s): Medicine | Radiology, Medical | Neurology | Neurosurgery | Pediatrics | Medicine & Public Health | Neuroradiology | Neurosurgery | Neurology | PediatricsDDC classification: 616.0757 Online resources: Click here to access online In: Springer eBooksSummary: Since functional MRI (fMRI) and the basic method of BOLD imaging were introduced in 1993 by Seiji Ogawa, fMRI has evolved into an invaluable clinical tool for routine brain imaging, and there have been substantial improvements in both the imaging technique itself and the associated statistical analysis. This book provides a state of the art overview of fMRI and its use in clinical practice. Experts in the field share their knowledge and explain how to overcome diverse potential technical barriers and problems. Starting from the very basics on the origin of the BOLD signal, the book covers technical issues, anatomical landmarks, the full range of clinical applications, methods of statistical analysis, and special issues in various clinical fields. Comparisons are made with other brain mapping techniques, such as DTI, PET, TMS, EEG, and MEG, and their combined use with fMRI is also discussed. Since the first edition, original chapters have been updated and new chapters added, covering both novel aspects of analysis and further important clinical applications.
