Handbook of Pediatric Brain Imaging: Methods and Applications is a comprehensive reference that focuses on cutting-edge techniques for acquiring and analyzing brain images in children. It addresses the unique challenges of pediatric neuroimaging, such as small brain size, dynamic cortical development, and lower cerebral blood flow in neonates. The book emphasizes MRI while also covering complementary modalities like EEG and MEG, integrating methodological rigor with practical insights for research and clinical applications.
Key Features:
- Detailed coverage of pediatric brain MRI subtypes, including structural MRI, diffusion MRI, functional MRI, and perfusion MRI.
- Addresses challenges specific to pediatric imaging, such as head motion, small brain size, and developmental changes in white matter and cortical structure.
- Integrates imaging acquisition and analysis techniques with pediatric neuroscience perspectives.
- Discusses multimodal imaging approaches, combining MRI with EEG and MEG for comprehensive brain assessment.
- Highlights state-of-the-art research and methodological advancements in pediatric brain imaging.
- Serves as a resource for researchers, clinicians, and trainees involved in pediatric neuroimaging and developmental neuroscience.
