Within the past two decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has developed tremendously, from initial descriptions of changes in blood oxygenation that can be mapped with MRI (Ogawa) using T2*-weighted images to very basic investigations performing studies of the visual and motor cortex. From there, it has further evolved into a very powerful research tool and has also become an imaging modality of daily clinical routine, especially in presurgical mapping. This book focuses on these clinical applications starting from the basics and the backgrounds leading to current concepts and their application in a clinical environment.
It is interesting to see how fMRI became a clinical application over recent years of which the neurosurgeons were very suspicious in the initial phase of first clinical experiments in presurgical mapping. Its acceptance can be recognized based on increased numbers of studies performed on demand.
With this book the author try to answer some questions and give an overview on how fMRI can be applied for clinical purposes.
