Neurological Disorders Imaging Physics

Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems. Written by experts in the field, this second volume includes illustrative figures and valuable references, and will be useful for researchers, students and practitioners in the industry.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease where the body's immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing debilitating side effects that last a lifetime for those affected. There is currently no cure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an established tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of MS because of its ability to depict the pathological features of the disease in high detail. Over the past few decades, MRI-based visualization of demyelinated CNS lesions has become pivotal to the diagnosis and monitoring of MS. In recent years, newer MR imaging technologies, including higher-field-strength MR units, have been developed to analyse the overall MS damage and highlight potential mechanisms of recovery in patients at different stages of the disease. Written by experts in the field, this first volume covers all imaging techniques applied to the analysis of MS, including the physics of CT/MR neurological imaging, MR MS, and miscellaneous MR neurological applications.

This volume covers the state-of-the-art topics that investigate two significant neurological disorders: the Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) not only from the theoretical perspective but also focuses on the practical aspects. The materials are presented in a way that can be beneficial to both advanced and layman readers

This book focuses on major trends and challenges in the area of dyslexia, epilepsy and Parkinson's, and aims to identify new techniques and their applications in biomedical analysis. This fifth volume on neurological disorders explores topics such as real-time epilepsy prediction applied on EEG pediatric data; delineation of epileptogenic zone; behavioral and biological correlates and treatment of dyslexia; potential biomarkers of Parkinson's disease; Rett Syndrome; and automatic assessment of motor impairments for Parkinson's disease. This is an essential reference for students and researchers in medical imaging, brain imaging, image processing, and neurology. Key Features World class contributors in neurological disorders imaging Presents a comprehensive review of imaging related dyslexia, epilepsy and Parkinson's Introductory section presents the fundamentals of various imaging techniques

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurological disorder that impacts focus, self-control, and other skills important in daily life. Caused by differences in brain anatomy and wiring, it is known to be one of the most common conditions in childhood. As ADHD plays a serious role in how children function in school and in their everyday life, having a deep understanding of this neurological condition is critical. This book explores recent advances in neuroimaging techniques, methods, applications and machine learning algorithms.
