Functional Neuroimaging demonstrates the clinical application and utilization of functional neuroradiology for early diagnosis, neurological decision-making, and assessing response to cancer therapy and helps clinicians incorporate this technology into clinical practice.

Functional Neuroimaging includes:

• Helps clinicians incorporate functional neuroradiology into their practice
• Contains 320 intricate, full-color figures comprising the anatomy and function of the brain
• Depicts current methods for imaging the central nervous system, as well as cutting-edge approaches for the imaging of brain function
• Shows new advancements in functional brain imaging to benefit the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients
