Advanced MR Neuroimaging

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The book entitled "Advanced MR Neuroimaging - From Theory to Clinical Practice" by Professor Ioannis Tsougos represents a smooth and yet comprehensive introduction to four of the most important methods in the field of MR neuroimaging...Professor Tsougos has chosen four advanced MR imaging techniques, namely Diffusion and Perfusion MRI, MR spectroscopy, and functional MRI, to include in his book. These methods are introduced from theoretical basics to clinically relevant aspects and their application in clinical MR neuroimaging routine. These explanations are complemented by a separate chapter for artifacts and pitfalls in each of the four methods...The author starts each section with focus points to raise the reader's awareness of key features and essential concepts covered, which make it especially for beginners in the field accessible to get oriented...This book can be recommended to researchers and basic scientist making their first steps in neuroimaging. It will also help clinical scientists, who want to extend their knowledge in multi-parametric neuroimaging.
Although many recent techniques like ASL and resting-state fMRI are included in their corresponding chapters, some of the most recent developments in Diffusion MRI or in other advanced neuroimaging techniques like quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) or MR elastography are not covered in the book. However, publishing a complete and educational volume covering the entire spectrum of advanced MR neuroimaging and serving as a reference is a difficult task to accomplish, since this field is highly active and continuously growing. Notwithstanding the above, I can highly recommend this well-illustrated book to all neuroimaging researchers, radiologists and neurosurgeons with interest in advanced MR techniques as well as to students in the medical field."
