Encyclopedia of Neuroimaging: Volume IV (Clinical Applications)

Modern neuroimaging tools provide exceptional chances for understanding brain neuroanatomy and its role in health and illness. Each feasible technique carries with it a specific balance of potentials and drawbacks, such that converging evidence formed on multiple methods provides the strongest approach for enhancing our knowledge in the fields of clinical and cognitive neuroscience. The aim of this book is to provide a "snapshot" of present developments using well established and newly emerging techniques. The book richly illustrates overviews of MRI/MRS features, the advantages of magneto-encephalography (MEG), use of neuroimaging tools to guide gamma knife radiosurgery, robotic arm guided approach to explore the insular cortex, etc.
