Product Description

Review

The rapidly growing field of functional MR imaging research clearly needs a textbook like this one . . . The book is well organized and easy to search; each chapter contains logical subsections. The quality of printing paper, figures and tables is consistently high, and the figures are helpful and often beautiful. The chapters succinctly cover basic MR imaging principles, biophysics, and technical matters that arise in functional MR imaging research. The chapter on how to use functional MR imaging to begin to understand effective connectivity is a masterpiece . . . We recommend this text to a wide range of readers: to clinicians who desire a more than cursory review of this growing area; to novice researchers in this field . . . and to experienced researchers who require a solid review and reference text on the state of the art of functional MR imaging.

Product Description

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the scanning technique which allows the mapping of active processes within the brain. There are six sections to the book with chapters from an expert international team. Part I provides a broad overview of the field and sets the context. Part II describes the physiological and physical background to fMRI, including coverage of the hardware required and pulse sequence selection. Practical issues involving experimental design of the paradigms, psycho-physical stimulus delivery and subject response are covered in Part III, followed by a comprehensive treatment of data analysis in Part IV. Part V deals with practical applications of the technique in the field of neuroscience and in clinical practice. The final section describes how fMRI can be integrated with other neuro-electromagnetic functional mapping techniques. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: An Introduction to Methods is written to be accessible to a wide-ranging audience of research scientists interested in studying how the normal brain works, and clinicians interested in monitoring disease states and processes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Covers Everything (almost), 28 Jan 2003

"rkn77" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: An Introduction to Methods (Hardcover)

As a beginner in the area of fMRI research (image analysis), I found this book to be a complete and comprehensive intro to the subject, written by the leaders in this field from all over the world. It covers everything in the right amount to give you an understanding of what is involved in Functional MRI. However, no one book can cover everything in this subject just because of its multidisciplinary nature that ranges from neuroscience to engineering and physics. It also covers some areas more in more depths than others. I found the physics part to be a little weak and not very well explained. The rest of the book is just Excellent. If you need to go deeper into any one single subject like neuroscience, physiology, image registration ...etc the book will point you in the right direction to get this info from the top people in their respective fields.
