SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ...

The field of brain imaging is developing at a rapid pace and has greatly advanced the areas of
cognitive and clinical neuroscience. The availability of neuroimaging techniques  especially
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)  functional MRI (fMRI)  diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and
magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic source imaging (MSI) has brought about breakthroughs
in neuroscience. To obtain comprehensive information about the activity of the human brain 
different analytical approaches should be complemented. Thus  in intermodal multimodality
imaging  great efforts have been made to combine the highest spatial resolution (MRI  fMRI)
with the best temporal resolution (MEG or EEG). Intramodal multimodality imaging combines
various functional MRI techniques (e.g.  fMRI  DTI  and or morphometric volumetric analysis).
The multimodal approach is conceptually based on the combination of different noninvasive
functional neuroimaging tools  their registration and cointegration. In particular  the
combination of imaging applications that map different functional systems is useful  such as
fMRI as a technique for the localization of cortical function and DTI as a technique for
mapping of white matter fiber bundles or tracts. This booklet gives an insight into the wide
field of multimodal imaging with respect to concepts  data acquisition  and postprocessing.
Examples for intermodal and intramodal multimodality imaging are also demonstrated. Table of
Contents: Introduction   Neurological Measurement Techniques and First Steps of Postprocessing
