This book presents the basic principles and new and emergent clinical applications of BOLD
fMRI. It describes the physical principles of BOLD fMRI imaging and reviews scanning
methodologies data analysis challenges and limitations of BOLD fMRI neurovascular uncoupling
and functional connectivity. The book also explores current and future clinical applications of
BOLD fMRI in the fields of language memory fMRI WADA visual pathway brain mapping of
eloquent cortex pediatrics auditory pathways epilepsy psychiatric disorders
neurodegenerative disorders pharmacological applications and cognitive neuroscience. It
concludes with a discussion of BOLD fMRI paradigms that can be used for clinical and cognitive
experiments. Derived from Faro Mohamed Law and Ulmer's Functional Neuroradiology: Principles
and Applications this book is a valuable resource for neurologists cognitive neuroscientists
and neuroradiologists.
