Download or read book Molecular Imaging of the Brain written by M. M. Kaila and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines multi-quantum magnetic resonance imaging methods and the diagnostics of brain disorders. It consists of two Parts. The part I is initially devoted towards the basic concepts of the conventional single quantum MRI techniques. It is supplemented by the basic knowledge required to understand multi-quantum MRI. Practical illustrations are included both on recent developments in conventional MRI and the MQ-MRI. This is to illustrate the connection between theoretical concepts and their scope in the clinical applications. The Part II initially sets out the basic details about quadrupole charge distribution present in certain nuclei and their importance about the functions they perform in our brain. Some simplified final mathematical expressions are included to illustrate facts about the basic concepts of the quantum level interactions between magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole behavior of useful nuclei present in the brain. Selected practical illustrations, from research and clinical practices are included to illustrate the newly emerging ideas and techniques. The reader should note that the two parts of the book are written with no interdependence. One can read them quite independently.

Book Synopsis Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging in Neurochemistry by : Herman Bachelard
Download or read book Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging in Neurochemistry written by Herman Bachelard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advances in Neurochemistry series was initiated for a readership of neuroscientists with a background in biochemistry. True to this concept, the present volume brings together various applications of magnetic resonance technology to advance our knowledge of how the nervous system functions. Whether at the cellular, tissue slice, or intact organism level. magnetic resonance techniques are by their nature noninvasive, and thus provide a window through which biochemical reactions can be viewed without grinding, binding, or other wise perturbing ongoing physiological processes. As technological improve ments in methodology, such as higher and more uniform magnetic fields, novel paradigms for data analysis, etc. , are made, we find increased sensitivity and improved temporal and spatial resolution for functional imaging techniques on the one hand, and better separation of signals that identify chemical properties in spectral shift studies, on the other. It is upon knowledge such as is described in the twelve chapters that follow, that further advances in scientific discovery and the biomedical applications of tomorrow will be based. We are grateful to Dr. Bachelard, the Volume Editor, and to the authors of the individual chapters for their efforts. We also note that with this volume Dr. Morris Aprison, a co-founder of the Advances in Neurochemistry series has stepped down and acknowledge with thanks his major role in its inception. In addition, we thank our past and present Advisory Editors. Bernard W.

Book Synopsis Dynamic Brain Imaging by : Hyder Fahmeed
Download or read book Dynamic Brain Imaging written by Hyder Fahmeed and published by Humana Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a picture is worth a thousand words, then dynamic images of brain activity certainly warrant many, many more. This book will help users learn to decipher the dynamic imaging data that will be critical to our future understanding of complex brain functions. In recent years, there have been unprecedented methodological advancements in the imaging of brain activity. These techniques allow the measurement of everything from neural activity (e.g., membrane potential, ion ?ux, neurotransmitter ?ux) to energy metabolism (e.g., glucose consumption, oxygen consumption, creatine kinase ?ux) and functional hyperemia (e.g., blood ?ow, volume, oxygenation). This book deals with a variety of magnetic resonance, electrophysiology, and optical methods that are often used to measure some of these dynamic processes. All chapters were written by leading experts, spanning three continents, specializing in state-of-the-art methods. Brie?y, the book has ?ve sections. In the introductory section, there are two chapters; the ?rst one contains a brief pre- ble to dynamic brain imaging and the other presents a novel, analytical approach to processing of dynamically acquired data. The second section has four chapters and delves into a wide range of optical imaging methods. I am privileged to include a chapter from Lawrence B. Cohen, considered by many to be the authority on optical imaging and spectroscopy, both in vitro and in vivo [Cohen LB (1973) Physiol Rev.
Book Synopsis Quantum Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostics of Human Brain Disorders by : Madan M Kaila
Download or read book Quantum Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostics of Human Brain Disorders written by Madan M Kaila and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize detailed internal structure of the body. This book discusses the recent developments in the field of MRI and its application to the diagnosis of human brain disorders. In addition, it reviews the newly emerging concepts and technology, based on the multi-coherence imaging (MQCI). It explains how computer packages can be used to generate images in diseased states and compare them to in vivo results. This will help improve the diagnosis of brain disorders based on the real-time events happening on atomic and molecular quantum levels. This is important since quantum-based MRI would enable clinicians to detect brain tumors at the very early stages. - Uses practical examples to explain the techniques - making it easier to understand the concepts - Uses diagrams to explain the physics behind the technique - avoiding the use of complicated mathematical formulae

Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-ionizing imaging modality that can provide images with excellent soft tissue contrast at high resolution. In particular, molecular and cellular MRI is a powerful imaging method that could provide a non-invasive way for assessing specific biological processes in vivo in living organisms. The ability to monitor and track biological structures and processes down to molecular and cellular level and the possibility to probe the development, survival, migration, and differentiation of cells in vivo, has opened up new ways for scientists to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of health and diseases. In this dissertation, novel applications of conventional MR contrast agents to study specific biological structures and processes are demonstrated. First, the potential of manganese enhanced MRI (MEMRI) for in vivo tract tracing and assessment of neuroarchitecture was investigated. Manganese was intracortically infused into the visual cortex along the border of the primary and secondary visual cortex and then imaged 8 and 24 hours later. A dynamic migratory path of manganese from the infusion site through the corpus callosum to the contralateral hemisphere was observed. Also, layer specific enhancement on the contralateral cortex and the connection of the visual cortex with other brain structures were shown and the results were consistent with established anatomical data. Secondly, MEMRI was performed to probe in vivo neuronal changes in the rodent brain following 72-hour rapid eye movement sleep deprivation. Significant reduction in manganese uptake was observed in the cortical and hippocampal region in the sleep deprived animals when compared to the normal group. In particular, the dentate gyrus substructure in the hippocampus exhibited the least uptake. This indicated the functional vulnerability of the hippocampus and the cortex to sleep deprivation. Lastly, in vivo tracking of endogenous neural stem and progenitor cell migration during neurogenesis in neonatal rat brain was performed by micron sized iron oxide particles (MPIO) labeling. Susceptibility weighted imaging was used for image processing to highlight the susceptibility contrast induced by the iron oxide particles. MPIO-labeled cells induced contrast was clearly enhanced in the susceptibility weighted images, particularly at day 3 after MPIO injection in which the MPIO-labeled NPCs became more dispersed in the olfactory bulb. The ventral migratory pathway of endogenous neural stem and progenitor cells, which could not be easily observed in conventional T2*W imaging, couldalsobe detected. Overall, various biological systems and processes have been successfully interrogated using MR contrast agents. Through these studies, the versatility and power of molecular and cellular MRI have been demonstrated. Looking ahead, the rapid development and combination of different molecular and cellular imaging techniques would certainly revolutionize the way we study health and diseases. In the end, this could foster our understanding of basic life sciences and hence improve the quality of healthcare.
