Handbook of Pediatric Brain Imaging: Theory and Applications

Handbook of Pediatric Brain Imaging: Theory and Applications presents state of the art research on pediatric brain image acquisition and analysis from a broad range of imaging modalities that include MRI, EEG, MEG, PET, Ultrasound, NIRS, CT. With rapidly developing methods and applications of MRI, this book strongly emphasizes state of the art pediatric brain MRI, elaborating on the sub-categories of structure MRI, diffusion MRI, functional MRI, perfusion MRI and other MRI methods. The book integrates a pediatric brain imaging perspective into imaging acquisition and analysis methods, covering head motion, small brain sizes, small cerebral blood flow of neonates, dynamic cortical gyrification, white matter tract growth, differential maturation of functional networks, insufficient white matter myelination resulting in different image contrasts from adult brains.
