Abstract Neruoimaging methods can be conveniently divided into structural and functional. Structural imaging, such as X-Ray, CT, or MRI illuminate structures in a static way. While functional neuroimaging including fMRI, MRS, PET and SPECT yields metabolic or biochemical information that allows localization of a neural function. CT images depend on passage of highly collimated X-ray beam that passes through the patient’s head and then is recorded by CT detectors. The image produced depends on the degree of X-ray attenuation. One can think simplistically of MRI in terms of energy exchange between an external magnetic field and certain atomic nuclei. |
