Specialty Imaging: Functional MRI



Specialty Imaging: Functional MRI is designed as an accessible primer for teaching functional anatomy and imaging
essentials to practicing neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and imaging scientists
interested in designing, acquiring, and interpreting functional MRI studies for scientific and clinical purposes. The
book includes background in related MRI physics, sequence configuration, and image processing strategies needed to
establish a functional imaging service. An emphasis of the book is an authoritative treatment of functional brain
anatomy, including regional cortical anatomy, brain network anatomy, and functional anatomy of core cognitive
functions
such as language, motor, vision, memory, attention, and social brain function. The book also contains detailed
portraits of more than 20 common fMRI paradigms, with instructions for implementation and sample activation maps
expected from each paradigm. SI: Functional MRI will serve as a resource for physicians interested in establishing a
clinical functional brain imaging service, with information on fMRI image artifacts, workflow, and billing issues in
functional neuroimaging, open source and commercial software platforms for analysis, and numerous sample cases as a
guide to image interpretation. Specialty Imaging: Functional MRI is unique in its primary focus on functional brain
anatomy, quick reference style for learning functional anatomy, and ability to lead neuroradiologists efficiently
through the steps required to set up a clinical functional imaging service. The book would nicely complement the
Imaging Anatomy: Brain by covering functional cortical and brain network anatomy and organization.
