The book is organized into five thematic sections covering a wide range of topics. Early chapters focus on the integration of neuroimaging with behavioral science, highlighting brain–behavior relationships through cutting-edge imaging modalities and cognitive software. Subsequent sections examine the effects of sedentary lifestyles on brain health, vascular function assessed by ultrasound, and musculoskeletal aging through imaging biomarkers. Additional chapters explore chronic disease management, yoga and cognitive well-being, stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, and the expanding role of imaging in oncology and systemic diseases. Throughout, the book emphasizes the use of artificial intelligence, radiomics, and multimodal imaging to enhance precision medicine and population health research.
