Book Synopsis MR Spectroscopy of Pediatric Brain Disorders by : Stefan Blüml
Download or read book MR Spectroscopy of Pediatric Brain Disorders written by Stefan Blüml and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a modality available on most clinical MR scanners and readily integrated with standard MR imaging (MRI). For the brain in particular, MRS has been a powerful research tool providing additional clinically relevant information for several disease families such as brain tumors, metabolic disorders, and systemic diseases. The most widely-available MRS method, proton (1H; hydrogen) spectroscopy, is FDA approved for general use in the US and can be ordered by clinicians for patient studies if indicated. There are several books available that describe applications of MRS in adults. However, to the best of our knowledge there is currently no book available that focuses exclusively on applications in pediatrics. MR spectroscopy in the pediatric population is different from adults for two main reasons. Particularly in the newborn phase the brain undergoes biochemical maturation with dramatic changes of the "normal" biochemical fingerprint. Secondly, brain diseases in the pediatric population are different from adult disorders. For example, brain tumors, which are mostly gliomas in the adults, often originate from different cell types and are also more diverse even within the same type and grade of tumor. This diversity of diseases and its implications for MR spectroscopy has not been addressed sufficiently in the literature, we believe. The target audience for "MR Spectroscopy of Pediatric Brain Disorders" are thus both clinicians and researchers involved with pediatric brain disorders. This includes radiologists, neurologists, neurooncologists, neurosurgeons, and more broadly the neuroscience and neurobiology community. This book will provide the necessary background information to understand the basics of MR spectroscopy. This will be followed by a detailed discussion of the normal biochemical maturation which will highlight the metabolic differences between the pediatric and adult brain. Thereafter, in SECTION I individual chapters will address various pediatric brain disease families. Of particular importance for pediatrics are case studies. For that reason, SECTION II will contain a large number of case studies. This will be particularly important for clinicians who may want to see examples of MRS for various conditions. A standardized format will be used for case reports that allow the reader to quickly understand the history of each case presented and the significance of the findings. The case reports will also include information from other imaging modalities to point out any added value of MRS in addition to conventional studies and clinical information. This section is necessary because the format of providing more complete information about individual patients is not practical for the chapters in SECTION I.

Book Synopsis Foundations of Sport-Related Brain Injuries by : Semyon M. Slobounov
Download or read book Foundations of Sport-Related Brain Injuries written by Semyon M. Slobounov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-08-25 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In summarizing current insights and controversies over concussions in athletics, this book makes the vital point that symptom resolution does not necessarily mean injury resolution. Research shows that dysfunctional pathways continue for extended periods even after a minor concussion. Until the consequences of short-term perturbations and long-term residual brain dysfunctions are better understood, concussions must be treated with respect and given a higher priority for continued research activity.

Book Synopsis MRI of the Pediatric Brain by : R. Nuri Sener
Download or read book MRI of the Pediatric Brain written by R. Nuri Sener and published by Warren H Green. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As medical imaging techniques have improved, both in variety and precision, medical imaging has assumed an increasingly significant part in the clinical care of patients. It plays a major role in narrowing differential diagnoses, directing specific therapies and in non-invasively reanalysing the patient both while undergoing therapy and after the treatment is completed. This is particularly important in the diagnosis and treatment of brain dysfunction or injury in children. In terms of brain function, as with almost everything else, children are not merely small adults. They can have unique medical problems that differ in ways that are sometimes profound, sometimes subtle, from the problems of adults. While symptoms and clinical, historical information are vital diagnostic tools, they are not always sufficient to allow a specific diagnosis to be made with confidence. Therefore, medical imaging has assumed a greater role in early diagnosis and treatment. In treating any group of patients, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of both normal and pathological anatomy. This book adds to our understanding of both these aspects of the paediatric brain and will be an extremely useful reference for the clinician to diagnose, prognoses and prescribe optimal treatment for this specialised group of patients.
Book Synopsis Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Multiple Sclerosis by : M. Filippi
Download or read book Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Multiple Sclerosis written by M. Filippi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed dramatic advances in the development and use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques that can provide quantitative measures with some degree of pathological specificity for the heterogeneous substrates of multiple sclerosis (MS). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is one of the most promising of these techniques. Thanks to MRS, axonal damage is no longer considered an end-stage phenomenon typical of only the most destructive lesions and the most unfortunate cases, but rather as a major component of the MS pathology of lesions and normal-appearing white matter at all the phases of the disease. This new concept is rapidly changing our understanding of MS pathophysiology and, as a consequence, the therapeutic strategies to modify the disease course favorably. Many of the authors have pionereed the use of MRS in MS, thus contributing to the foundation of the "axonal hypothesis".

Book Synopsis Magnetic Resonance of Myelin, Myelination, and Myelin Disorders by : Jacob Valk
Download or read book Magnetic Resonance of Myelin, Myelination, and Myelin Disorders written by Jacob Valk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now considered the imaging modality of choice for the majority of disorders affecting the central nervous system. This is particularly true for gray and white matter disorders, thanks to the superb soft tis sue contrast in MRI which allows gray matter, unmyelinated, and myelinated white matter to be distinguished and their respective disorders identified. The pre sent book is devoted to the disorders of myelin and myelination. A growing amount of detailed in vivo information about myelin, myelination, and myelin dis orders has been derived both from MRI and from MR spectroscopy (MRS). This prompted us to review the clinical, laboratory, biochemical, and pathological data on this subject in order to integrate all available information and to provide im proved insights into normal and disordered myelin and myelination. We will show how the synthesis of all available information contributes to the interpretation of MR images. After a brief historical review about the increasing knowledge on myelin and my elin disorders, we propose a new classification of myelin disorders based on the subcellular localization of the enzymatic defects as far as the inborn errors of me tabolism are concerned. This classification serves as a guide throughout the book. All items of the classification will be discussed and, whenever relevant and possi ble, be illustrated by MR images.
