Produktbeschreibung

Drs. Scott H. Faro and Feroze B. Mohamed of Drexel University College of Medicine have succeeded in translating benchmark research on functional MRI into clinical applications for the non-scientist physician, providing those unfamiliar with fMRI physics with much needed background. This practical and timely volume presents an overview of the principles of fMRI and explains experimental research design, outlines the challenges and limitations of fMRI, provides a detailed neuroanatomic atlas, and describes the clinical applications of fMRI in cognitive, sensory, motor, and pharmacological cases. Contributors to this comprehensive text include internationally recognized neurologists, radiologists, and psychologists. Abundant illustrations, most in color, complete the book.

Rezensionen

Radiology Review:

"... The editors are respected experts in the field of MR imaging. ... Each chapter provides a substantial list of references ... The book contains a multitude of large high-resolution images, and some chapters contain informative tables that summarize and compare the literature. The book is easy to read, and the chapters on the underlying physical principles of functional MR imaging are particularly enjoyable. ... The editors achieved their goal of providing a thorough introduction to clinical functional MR imaging at a reasonable price. ..." (Birgit Kettenmann, PhD; Radiology Dec 2007)

From the reviews:

"The book is organized into 3 parts, with 19 chapters and an appendix. ... Color illustrations of fMRI mappings abound (134 full-color illustrations in all), and each chapter is extensively referenced. ... Young fMRI researchers would certainly benefit ... . The more clinically oriented reader to whom the book is ostensibly targeted can find much useful information ... ." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. 28, October, 2007)
