Professor Julien Cohen-Adad edits a book on quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord (Publisher: Elsevier)
Quantitative MRI of the Spinal Cord is the first book to focus on quantitative MRI techniques with specific application to the human spinal cord. The book covers techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging, functional MRI, magnetization transfer imaging and spectroscopy.
The book
introduces the theory behind each technique and presents the various applications for traumatic and neurodegenerative diseases
such as multiple sclerosis. These techniques also help the reader understand certain fundamental questions in neuroscience such
as pain mechanisms and central nervous system plasticity. Each chapter is authored by international experts in the field of MRI
of the spinal cord.
This book, intended for clinicians, radiologists, researchers and biomedical engineers, is designed to help them use the
techniques in practice and provide them with the essential theoretical elements on these emerging techniques.
