Introduction to Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) -- Research Applications of PET Imaging in Neuroscience -- Research Applications of Functional Magnetic Resonance -- Imaging (fMRI) in Neuroscience -- Research Applications of Cerebral Perfusion MRI in Neuroscience -- Radiotracers for PET Imaging of the Brain -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Neurosurgery -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in the Brain Mechanisms of Acupuncture -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Epilepsy -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Brain Tumor -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Cerebrovascular Disease -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Depression -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Schizophrenia -- Research Applications of PET/MRI in Other Neurological Diseases.
This book aims to summarize the research progress of integrated PET/MR brain function and molecular imaging, and more importantly, clinical application and research status of PET/MR of brain imaging from brain diseases to brain science. Starting from the overviews of brain function imaging technology, following chapters introduces clinical application of integrated PET/MR specific brain diseases in details, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and brain tumor, etc., which are hot issues of brain science research. It will be a useful reference to residents and practitioners in nuclear medicine, radiology, and neurology, as well as those interested in molecular imaging of brain.
