English

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans play a vital role in diagnosis and monitoring of diseases across the body. However, MRI is a relatively slow imaging technology, resulting in long scan times. This is particularly challenging when imaging dynamic processes. Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Methods and Applications explains the technologies which can speed up MRI imaging and shows how they have been applied to a broad range of application areas, presenting the challenges and giving practical advice on implementation. With this book the reader will be able to: Modify the MRI sequences to speed up acquisition of data (non-Cartesian trajectories and data under sampling); Use the techniques (parallel imaging, compressed sensing and machine learning) which are commonly used to reconstruct under sampled MRI data; Implement fast MRI imaging techniques for their application areas. Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Methods and Applications is an ideal resource for the technologist, clinical researcher and clinician who want to understand rapid MRI methods and gain practical advice on their implementation.

Multimodal Neuroimaging

1st Edition
December 1, 2099
Peter J. Molfese
English

Understanding the brain began with black-box psychological experiments seeking to understand basic inputs and outputs. As technology has advanced, neuroimaging techniques have developed to see inside the system with various tradeoffs. While each technology presents technical challenges, it is now recognized that the combination of multiple neuroimaging techniques yields information beyond the sum of the parts. Multimodal Neuroimaging: Theory and Methods gives the theoretical background to, and practical applications of, neuroimaging technologies. It uses multiple tools including EEG, fMRI, MEG, TMS, neuromodulation and shows how to combine data from multiple sources into a more coherent picture for understanding the brain. Multimodal Neuroimaging: Theory and Methods enables graduate students and researchers to identify methods, theory and applications relevant to their area of interest and gain a fundamental understanding of the steps needed to implement multimodal neuroimaging in their work
