Essentials of Functional MRI

Basic Concepts to Advanced Applications

Beschreibung

Essentials of Functional MRI is explained from the basic theory underlying magnetic resonance imaging. This includes how it can be used to detect dynamic variations in neural activity to become "functional" MRI, and how fMRI can be used for a variety of applications.

Autor

Patrick. W. Stroman, born in Lethbridge, Alberta, completed a B.Sc. Honours in Physics at the University of Victoria, and then a PhD in Applied Sciences in Medicine, with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging, at the University of Alberta. After 4 years as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Quebec Biomaterials Institute, Laval University, he took a position as a Research Officer at the Institute for Biodiagnostics (IBD), National Research Council of Canada. While at the IBD, he began developing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the spinal cord (spinal fMRI). In 2004 he joined the Centre for Neuroscience Studies, with cross appointments in the Departments of Physics and Diagnostic Radiology and became the Director of the new Queen's MRI Facility. He held a Canada Research Chair in Imaging Physics (2004-2014). He is now a professor and leads a research program that remains focused on the development of spinal cord and brainstem fMRI as a tool for clinical assessments and pain research.
