Description
Book Synopsis
Advanced MR Techniques for Neurodegenerative Diseases covers state of the art developments in physiologic, metabolic, functional, and microstructural MRI of the brain. It provides an overview of these approaches and includes dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI, dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI, arterial spin labeling (ASL), chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), resting state functional MRI (rsfMRI), microscopic diffusion imaging, and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Chapters then follow that present the application of these methods to Alzheimer's Disease and vascular dementia, small vessel disease, Parkinson's Disease, Lewy body dementia, Huntington's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Multiple Sclerosis.
Advanced MR Techniques for Neurodegenerative Diseases is a comprehensive resource on the latest advanced MR techniques and their application to neurodegenerative diseases, suitable for MR engineers and physicists as well as clinicians and neuroscientists who use MR techniques for diagnosis and research.
