Handbook of Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis

There is an increasing need for an imaging-specific handbook in the field of multiple sclerosis that provides the latest and most pertinent information to clinicians, radiologists, and researchers. Handbook of Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis provides an up-to-date introduction into multiple sclerosis disease, including new findings on the pathophysiological processes, the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. This book includes in-depth chapters exploring the use of conventional and non-conventional imaging methods. These chapters cover magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-specific topics such as measurement of brain atrophy and susceptibility-weighted imaging. Additional chapters explore the use of additional imaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and high field MRI (use of >7T MRI scanners). Reviews all non-conventional imaging modalities currently developed in the field of multiple sclerosis Written by international list of Authors that are very highly regarded in the very specific field of their respective chapter Includes information regarding the basics of acquisition and analysis that would allow researchers set-up their own MRI research
