Clinical Functional MRI [electronic resource] : Presurgical Functional Neuroimaging / edited by Christoph Stippich.

Presurgical Functional MRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging -- Revealing Brain Activity and White Matter Structure Using Functional and Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging -- Functional Neuroanatomy -- Task-Based Presurgical Functional MRI in Patients with Brain Tumors -- Presurgical Resting-State fMRI -- Simultaneous EEG-fMRI in Epilepsy -- Diffusion Imaging with MR Tractography for Brain Tumor Surgery -- Functional Neuronavigation -- Presurgical Functional Localization -- Multimodality in Functional Neuroimaging -- Brain Plasticity in fMRI and DTI -- Clinical BOLD fMRI and DTI: Artifacts, Tips, and Tricks.

The third, revised edition of this successful book describes up-to-date preoperative fMRI and complementary advanced imaging methods (DTI, MEG, PET, etc.) to diagnose and treat patients with brain tumors and epilepsy. It presents the state of the art fMRI and complementary imaging procedures and discusses practical aspects, imaging and data processing steps, normal and pathological findings, and diagnostic possibilities and limitations. Experts in the field explain relevant information on brain physiology, functional neuroanatomy, and imaging techniques. All chapters of the second edition have been fully updated to reflect the latest developments. Multimodality functional neuroimaging was rewritten by new authors. Further chapters address brain plasticity, and pitfalls, tips, and tricks. .
