This is the first comprehensive textbook on the
use of MRI in psychiatry covering imaging techniques, brain systems and
a review of findings in different psychiatric disorders. The book is
divided into three sections, the first of which covers in detail all
the major MRI-based methodological approaches available today,
including fMRI, EEG-fMRI, DTI, and MR spectroscopy. In addition, the
role of MRI in imaging genetics and combined brain stimulation and
imaging is carefully explained. The second section provides an overview
of the different brain systems that are relevant for psychiatric
disorders, including the systems for perception, emotion, cognition,
and reward. The final part of the book presents the MRI findings that
are obtained in all the major psychiatric disorders using the
previously discussed techniques. Numerous carefully chosen images
support the informative text, making this an ideal reference work for
all practitioners and trainees with an interest in this flourishing
field. |
