Humana Bioimaging in Neurodegeneration - Contemporary Neuroscience

Explore the essential role of bioimaging in modern medicine with this specialized text from the Contemporary Neuroscience series. This book examines how bioimaging serves as a leading tool for the diagnosis and prediction of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) progression through the study of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Readers will gain insights into both conventional and emerging technologies. The text covers standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods that utilize interactive external magnetic fields and the resonant frequencies of protons from water molecules. It also introduces newer, advanced sequences such as magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo. Beyond standard methods, the book discusses novel neuroimaging technologies, including neuromolecular imaging (NMI). It specifically addresses the use of BRODERICK PROBE sensors, which allow for the direct imaging of neurotransmitters and their precursors. This resource is designed for medical professionals and researchers focused on the intersection of neuroimaging and neurodegenerative disease management.
