Request a sales quoteImaging Methodology and Applications in Parkinson's Disease, Volume 141, provides an up-to-date and comprehensive textbook on the use of imaging modalities across the spectrum of movement disorders and dementias. Over the last decades, advances in neuroimaging tools has played a pivotal role in expanding our understanding of disease etiology and pathophysiology, identifying biomarkers to monitor disease progression, aiding differential diagnosis, and in the identification of novel targets for therapeutic intervention. This book brings together lessons learned from neuroimaging tools in movement disorders, including chapters on Advances in PET Methodology, Advances in MRI Methodology, Advances in SPECT Methodology, Hybrid PET/MRI Methodology, and more.
- Provides an up-to-date and comprehensive textbook addressing all aspects of neuroimaging in movement disorders
- Offers a complete review of advances in core imaging methodology and the application of neuroimaging tools
- Represents an indispensable educational and research reference of value to all movement disorder specialists, physicians, researchers and students

Marios Politis
Professor Marios Politis (MD MSc DIC PhD FRCP FEAN) is a Professor of Neurology, Consultant Neurologist, the Director of Neurodegeneration Imaging Group and the Director of Mireille Gillings Neuroimaging Centre at the University of Exeter.
His research involves the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) molecular imaging, structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), CSF and blood molecular markers, digital markers and clinical observation as methods of investigating aetiology, pathophysiology, and effects and complications of novel therapies in Neurodegenerative disorders.
Professor Marios Politis has receive a high number of awards for clinical, research, and clinical research excellence including a research achievement award by the MRC (2010), the Movement Disorder Society Award for Outstanding and Innovative Clinical Research (2012), the IMPETus award for innovative and outstanding PET molecular imaging research (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016) and the PET Investigator Award from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (2015). In 2016, he was elected Fellow of the European Academy of Neurology for outstanding contribution in neurodegenerative research. In 2017, he received the Jon Stolk Award in Movement Disorders from the American Academy of Neurology and was elected Fellow of Royal College of Physicians.
Professor Marios Politis has significant industry experience by serving as a clinical investigator, consultant and principal investigator in several collaborations with industrial partners and pharma including a number of clinical trials. He has trained over 120 clinical and non-clinical fellows, research associates and research assistants, and undergraduate and postgraduate students at NIG. He has raised a record amount of over £60 million for cutting-edge research in neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders; and is actively collaborating with a high number of philanthropic, government, non-commercial and commercial industrial partners.
Professor Marios Politis has published over 150 high impact papers and has been running a specialist Neurology and Movement Disorder clinical service for over 15 years with previous appointments at UCLH, Hammersmith and Charring Cross Hospitals, and King’s College Hospital.
