Overview

"Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) permits noninvasive imaging of the ""human brain at work"" under physiological conditions. This is the first textbook on clinical fMRI. It is devoted to preoperative fMRI in patients with brain tumors and epilepsies, which are the most well-established clinical applications. By localizing and lateralizing specific brain functions, as well as epileptogenic zones, fMRI facilitates the selection of a safe treatment and the planning and performance of function-preserving neurosurgery. State of the art fMRI procedures are presented, with detailed consideration of the physiological and methodological background, imaging and data processing, normal and pathological findings, diagnostic possibilities and limitations, and other related techniques. All chapters are written by recognized experts in their fields, and the book is designed to be of value to beginners, trained clinicians and experts alike."

Reviews

From the reviews: The book is well organized, succinctly written, and easy to read. ! covers all the major topics of presurgical functional MR imaging and has a clear focus on practical issues, making it particularly useful for those who are less familiar with the field or the practitioner who wants to refine techniques and protocols. The authors fulfill their goal ! . I have no difficulty in recommending this interesting book to all those who are involved in interpreting functional MR images in their clinical practice.
