Drs. Scott H. Faro and Feroze B. Mohamed of Drexel University College of Medicine have succeeded in translating benchmark research on functional MRI into clinical applications for the non-scientist physician, providing those unfamiliar with f MRI physics with much needed background. This practical and timely volume presents an overview of the principles of f MRI and explains experimental research design, outlines the challenges and limitations of f MRI, provides a detailed neuroanatomic atlas, and describes the clinical applications of f MRI in cognitive, sensory, motor, and pharmacological cases. Contributors to this comprehensive text include internationally recognized neurologists, radiologists, and psychologists. Abundant illustrations, most in color, complete the book.
