Some medical imaging modalities and their aplications to the study of the nervous system (CNS)
Nowadays, techniques of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are increasingly used to delimit and to go into the etiologic analysis of Central Nervous System diseases. The most advanced techniques in the field of the neuroimaging, may be classified as functional MRI, diffusion MRI or structural MRI.
Despite advances in novel analytical imaging techniques MRI, MRI Morphometry, functional MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), CT, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), help physicians in diagnosis in a qualitative sense. More at:
