This textbook provides a true introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which has become the dominant research technique in cognitive neuroscience. Although there is extraordinary interest in fMRI among researchers and instructors alike, two problems have hampered the study of this technique. First, existing texts are targeted toward practicing scientists in the field and assume a level of expertise not possessed by most students. Second, most students do not have access to fMRI equipment and data, so they have no opportunity to gain hands on experience. This textbook overcomes these limitations by presenting a comprehensive overview of all aspects of fMRI, designed with undergraduate students, graduate students and beginning researchers in mind. The authors' goal was to create a book that is sufficiently scientifically rigorous for scientists in the field, but also accessible enough to be easily read and understood by beginning students. The book can be used as the primary text for classes in fMRI, or as a secondary text for cognitive neuroscience, research methods or other courses.

Cranial Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroanatomy
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography
Hans-Joachim Kretscmann , Wolfgang Weinrich
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 451
In the ten years since publication of the second edition, the diagnostic information provided by new imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, US) has improved significantly. Clinicians and specialists must master three-dimensional neuroanatomy of the head in order to localize and interpret pathological symptoms and findings. As in the previous editions, the drawings presented here depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images. All drawings of the atlas portion of the book have been made from cadaver sections. This book is designed as a practical tool. The illustrations of the neurofunctional systems as they are localized in the tomographic planes are meant to orient the reader as to their localization in CT, MR and PET images. They also make it possible to extrapolate the clinical symptoms which correlate to the pathological CT and MR findings. The new, third edition includes both T1 and T2 weighted MR images, as well as enhanced detail throughout.

Early and accurate diagnosis forms the basis for appropriate and successful treatment of patients with liver tumours. Pre- and post-therapeutic imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI imaging - unenhanced as well as contrast-enhanced - are used to detect liver tumours and differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. Once a lesion is detected, the ratio of involved versus non-involved liver segments must be assessed. Preoperative imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas and liver metastases directly influences further therapeutic considerations, e.g., resection, liver transplantation, or regional therapeutic procedures, such as transcatheter arterial infusion therapy for arterial embolization, percutaneous ethanol instillation, chemotherapy, laser or radio frequency. Iron oxide-enhanced MRI as a non-invasive technique provides a high preoperative diagnostic efficacy for diagnosis of liver disorders. Superparamagnetic iron oxide particles are absorbed by the Kupffer cells of normal liver parenchyma and by tumors consisting of RES. This results in a signal change in MR images and various types of characteristic features of tissues.
Resovist is a new iron oxide contrast agent that can be applied via intravenous bolus injection. It allows dynamic iron oxide-enhanced imaging for the first time. In this book, both the basic principles and the latest results in the use of contrast-enhanced MRI of the liver are presented. This work will allow the reader to understand and use superparamagnetic contrast agents for evaluating various diseases of the liver.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the leading cross-sectional imaging method in clinical practice. Continuous technical improvements have significantly broadened the scope of applications. At present, MR imaging is not only the most important diagnostic technique in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal radiology, but has also become an invaluable diagnostic tool for abdominal, pelvic, cardiac, breast and vascular imaging. This book offers practical guidelines for performing efficient and cost-effective MRI examinations in daily practice. The underlying idea is that, by adopting a practical protocol-based approach, the work-flow in a MRI unit can be streamlined and optimized. For the second edition, all chapters have been thoroughly reviewed, and new techniques and figures were included. This book will help beginners to advance their starting point in implementing the protocols and will aid more experienced users in updating their knowledge.

Stroke MRI is a new imaging tool providing detailed information of the pathophysiological aspects of cerebral ischemia.This book with CD-ROM includes a case collection of 25 hyperacute stroke patients, all imaged within six hours of stroke onset with a complete stroke MRI protocol. Stroke MRI and the established clinical methods are compared and recent results from single and multicenter trials are presented to demonstrate the advantages of MRI for stroke patients. The CD-ROM contains diffusion-, T2-, T2*-perfusion-weighted images and MR angiography. Each case offers to answer the relevant questions concerning vessel status and lesion size as well as presence or absence of a "tissue at risk" with a self assessment mode and the experts - therapeutic decision.The CD and the book are complementary to avoid redundancy as far as possible. They will be useful to both the experienced researcher using MRI and the clinician or researcher with no previous knowledge of the technology.
An Atlas of Contrast-enhanced Angiography

editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 96
Conventional coronary angiography can lead to infections, injuries to the arteries, and in rare cases, heart attack or death. Using the new, rapidly developing technique of contrast-enhanced angiography (CEA), also known as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), cardiologists can now quickly and effectively evaluate a broad range of vascular abnormalities, including the kinds of problems often seen with traditional echocardiography. An Atlas of Contrast-Enhanced Angiography uses images taken directly from the magnetic resonance scanner to illustrate the application of CEA to all the common pathologies and anomalies seen in the cardiovascular system. It contains tables, charts, and line diagrams that delineate the angiograms. Authors Mohiaddin and Bunce supply explanatory text supporting and complementing the figures and providing clinical diagnoses and investigations of a multitude of normal and abnormal findings. A clinical aid to diagnosis and a review text containing bibliographic references and index, An Atlas of Contrast-Enhanced Angiography allows you to learn from the current leaders in the field. In addition, it provides you with a visual aide to the diagnosis and management of vascular disease.
New frontiers in MR-based techniques in multiple sclerosis
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 118
In the past few years there have been impressive advances in the implementation of modern MRI techniques for the assessment of MS patients with the ultimate goal to define MRI markers of MS evolution. The authors of this volume not only review these new techniques, such as magnetization transfer (MT) MRI, diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI and proton MR spectroscopy (MRS), that are increasingly being used to monitor MS evolution, but also those, such as functional MRI (fMRI), cell-specific MRI, perfusion MRI, and microscopic imaging with ultra-high field MRI, that are emerging as additional promising tools for improving our understanding of MS pathophysiology. Strengths and weaknesses of all these modern quantitative MRI techniques for the study of MS are extensively covered in this book. The book also provides a valuable summary of the state of the art.
