Neuroimaging Modalities

Part of the book series: Brain Informatics and Health ((BIH))

Abstract

This chapter briefly introduces the development of neuroimaging modalities. We give a simple introduction about pneumoencephalography (PEG), cerebral angiography, computerized tomography, and nuclear imaging (positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography). Later in the chapter, the technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered. Projectile risk, shimming technique, and water and fat suppression are discussed, with two contrasting types (spin–lattice and spin–spin) of MRI. A method for rough interpretation of magnetic resonance images is given. Finally, we make a comparison among different imaging modalities in MRI, including diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, magnetic resonance angiography, and magnetic resonance spectral imaging.
